"""
This is pure python implementation of Tabu search algorithm for a Travelling Salesman Problem, that the distances
between the cities are symmetric (the distance between city 'a' and city 'b' is the same between city 'b' and city 'a').
The TSP can be represented into a graph. The cities are represented by nodes and the distance between them is
represented by the weight of the ark between the nodes.
The .txt file with the graph has the form:
node1 node2 distance_between_node1_and_node2
node1 node3 distance_between_node1_and_node3
...
Be careful node1, node2 and the distance between them, must exist only once. This means in the .txt file
should not exist:
node1 node2 distance_between_node1_and_node2
node2 node1 distance_between_node2_and_node1
For pytests run following command:
pytest
For manual testing run:
python tabu_search.py -f your_file_name.txt -number_of_iterations_of_tabu_search -s size_of_tabu_search
e.g. python tabu_search.py -f tabudata2.txt -i 4 -s 3
