Python Ant Colony TSP Solver

Uses Ant Colony Optimization to solve the TSP.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony_optimization_algorithms

anttsp.py is the file to run. It reads from citiesAndDistances.pickled, which is a pickled 2D array with this format:

CityName1 CityName2 ... CitNameN
0 23 ... 34
10 0 ... 22
. . . .
. . . .

It is not necessary for the matrix to be symmetric i.e. the distance traveling from A to B need not be the distance from B to A (if you have ever been to Italy and dealt with the mess of one-way streets you will understand how this applies).

Run without additional arguments, it solves the 10-city TSP

You can also try this:

$ python anttsp.py 14

Other values <= 14 tested as well
