just a suggestion: Now that scipy.optimize is in active development it might be worth a look to see if some of the changes and improvements from nlopt http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/NLopt_Python_Reference could be adapted for scipy.optimize. The license depends on the pieces of code, but all relevant parts seem to be MIT licensed. (ignore if not relevant) Josef
