Configuring solver phases via Python

[aijorgenson]

Is there a way to configure solver phases via python without having an XML file? I'm not seeming to find anything in the docs but it seems like it should be possible.

You can use SolverConfig.create_from_xml_text:

timefold-solver/python/python-core/src/main/python/config/_config.py

Lines 206 to 208 in cf87aa7

	@staticmethod
	def create_from_xml_text(xml_text: str) -> 'SolverConfig':
	return SolverConfig(xml_source_text=xml_text)

The programmatic SolverConfig API is minimal (and does not allow configuring of phases except through XML), and there are a few features not implemented in Python like custom moves/move filters.

Sounds good. I really don't like working with XML but I'll get over it lol. Thank you for the quick reply!
