Description

The embedded code facility allows to integrate external code (e.g. Python) during
both compile and execution time of a GAMS program. GAMS symbols are shared with
the external code, so no communication via disk is necessary.

This example demonstrates how to split GAMS labels in Python at GAMS compilation
time to generate new set elements.

* Embedded Python code:
* - GAMS set "cc" is read from GAMS as a list
* - Each element of "cc" is split into two elements stored in "country" and "city"
* - The mappings "mccCountry" and "mccCity" are built up in parallel
* - "Country", "city", "mccCountry" and "mccCity" get written back to GAMS
$onEmbeddedCode Python:
  mccCountry = []
  mccCity = []
  for cc in gams.get("cc"):
    r = str.split(cc, " - ", 1)
    mccCountry.append((cc,r[0]))
    mccCity.append((cc,r[1]))
  gams.set("mccCountry",mccCountry)
  gams.set("mccCity",mccCity)
