I have a short chapter on using MiniZinc with Python in one of my old books that I am currently rewriting https://leanpub.com/pythonai/read#constraint-programming-wit... (link directly to this chapter online)

MiniZinc is a constraint programming system. There is a good Coursera class using MiniZinc.

Do you have a link to the Coursera course?

I believe Mark is referring to this series of three classes:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling

https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-modeling

https://www.coursera.org/learn/solving-algorithms-discrete-o...

They are indeed excellent and highly enjoyable.
