A quick search on "python linear programming" turns up a lot of hits (e.g. this one). Looking through them, I see a fair number of complaints about outdated dependencies, poor documentation, etc.

Can anybody recommend a headache-free (e.g. fast, well-documented, easy-to-install, clean API) linear programming library for python?

I'd recommend looking at PULP and/or Pyomo.
