I thought I would mention here on the mailing list that I redid the basin
hopping global optimisation
algorithm with a more advanced feature set. There are now two versions basinhopping, and basinhopping_advanced. I would be very interested which version people think is more appropriate for scipy.
hi Jacob, I would like to see its comparison with mlsl or psarms, that have similar algorithm (combination of local and global search) and Python API available. You could easily done it in OpenOpt framework ( http://openopt.org ), additional computation time is usually insufficient. There you could compare it with some other global solvers ( http://openopt.org/GLP ), especially I would recommend interalg ( http://openopt.org/interalg ), de and asa.
