[Numpy-discussion] solving linear equations

[Hanno Klemm]

Hi,

have a look at scipy optimize. For a solution with only positive values you could consider using scipy.optimize.nnls, if you want more general (linear) constraints, have a look at the linear programming functions. 

Another possibility would be looking at openOpt, which has probably more general solvers.
