We present RELOOP, a domain-specific language for relational optimization embedded in Python. It allows the user to express relational optimization problems in a natural syntax that follows logic and linear algebra, rather than in the restrictive standard form required by solvers, and can automatically compile the model to a lower-order but equivalent model. Moreover, RELOOP makes it easy to combine relational optimization with high-level features of Python such as loops, parallelism and interfaces to relational databases.
