This work presents a new software, programmed as a Python class, that implements a multi-objective Bayesian optimization algorithm. The proposed method is able to calculate the Pareto front approximation of optimization problems with fewer objective functions evaluations than other methods, which makes it appropriate for costly objectives. The software was extensively tested on benchmark functions for optimization, and it was able to obtain Pareto Function approximations for the benchmarks with as many as 20 objective function evaluations, those results were obtained for problems with different dimensionalities and constraints.
