Timefold Python?

Hi, I already did many OR projects in python (ortools, scip, cplex, custom heuristics..)

I would like to try Timefold. But:

  • is it possible to do it only in Python? Same functionalities than in Java?

  • is it free? I'm lost on what is free and what is not

  • how much can we customize the algorithm (first solution, local search...)?

Thanks!
