I have found COBYLA(http://www.jeannot.org/~js/code/index.en.html#COBYLA), and it has a Python interface, which make it very easy to use.
You seem not to be aware that cobyla is part of scipy: scipy.optimize.fmin_cobyla

Oh, my God! I have studied fmin_l_bfgs_b, fmin_tnc, and fmin_cobyla before, but I don't quit understand the "cons" parameter for fmin_cobyla after I have found COBYLA and have seen the example shipped with it. It seems that the interface of fmin_cobyla is a little different with that is provided with COBYLA. Anyway, it doesn't matter and I think fmin_cobyla is what I want. Thanks :-) Xiao Jianfeng
