I think this sarcasm is unjustified. It is not obvious to me that this
is a homework assignment.

The problem where constraints are linear and the objective function is
linear (quadratic) is known as linear (quadratic) programming, and
there are specialized codes for these problems. I don't know of
software in any language for the particular problem of a linear
objective function with quadratic constraints, so I would use a general
algorithm for nonlinearly constrained optimization. Maybe CVXOPT
http://www.ee.ucla.edu/~vandenbe/cvxopt/ will work for the OP -- I have
not tried it.

The site http://www.solver.com/probconic.htm calls the problem "conic
optimization".

A good newsgroup to ask about optimization algorithms is
