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.

As far as i can tell, simulated annealing is quite out of touch with more modern optimization strategies.
In Bayesian statistics, Markov chain Monte Carlo is the standard integration tool. If you want a peak or a root instead of the integral, Metropolis-Hastings becomes simulated annealing.
