To speed up the code of integer linear programming, you can install the GUROBI solver. See the documentation of Python-MIP for more information.
To verify your installation, open the python interpreter and write:
>>> import prtpy
>>> prtpy.partition(algorithm=prtpy.partitioning.greedy, numbins=2, items=[1,2,3,4,5])
You should see something like:
[[5, 2, 1], [4, 3]]
