Research direction

Start by reading the linked Pyomo GAMS.py implementation and then inspect linopy's model export interfaces. Determine how a linopy model should be represented for GAMS compatibility and define completion around a working export path comparable to Pyomo's support.

Description

enhancement solver interface

It would be great if we could somehow export the linopy model as a GAMS model. There's a bunch of people who only have access to commercial solvers through GAMS. It obviously won't be an optimal process but Pyomo is able to export the model as a GAMS model to be solved Link to Class. Something similar to this could be helpful.
