http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521852870&amp;ss=res</a><br><br>This is the book.. Numerical Methods in Engineering with Python from the Cambridge Univ Press. This book has a chapter on solving Two point boundary value problems. But since the book is meant to teach Numerical methods, he has developed all the necessary machinery including ODEint and Newton Raphson iteration all by himself using Numpy alone and uses those functions to write the code for solving BVP's. A similar thing will have to be done using Scipy's packages now I guess.. or are we expecting a code fully written in C, C++, FORTRAN ?? I could help if it were the former..not the latter. I have been wanting this for quite some time now !! Too basic a feature to be missing in the Scipy !!
