Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will be using Python 3 with the following supporting libraries:

  • deap
  • numpy
  • matplotlib
  • seaborn

In addition, we will be using the benchmark data from the Rosetta Code Knapsack problem/0-1 (http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem/0-1), and the TSP LIB (http://elib.zib.de/pub/mp-testdata/tsp/tsplib/tsp/).

The programs used in this chapter can be found in the book's GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Genetic-Algorithms-with-Python/tree/master/Chapter04.
