[SciPy-user] DASSL in SciPy

[Ryan Gutenkunst]

I'm somewhat of an f2py newbie, but I recently wrapped up one new 
integrator. (LSODAR, and I'd love to see that work make it into the 
SciPy core.)

I also have a half-completed wrapper of DASKR 
(http://www.netlib.org/ode/), which is a successor to DASPK 2.0 that 
adds root-finding. I ran into some mysterious problems, but haven't 
spent too much effort on them yet. Zhiwen, I'll contact you off-list in 
a day or so. Maybe we can work together to get it working well and 
design a convenient interface.

In terms of getting things into SciPy, I'm not at all familiar with the 
process, or what conventions exist. Is there a set of developer 
documentation with guidelines, etc? Or will one of the devs hold my 
hand when it comes to tweaking the wrapper for SciPy inclusion? :-)

Cheers,
Ryan
