[SciPy-user] ODE solvers and Scipy

[David Linke]

Hi John,

Here is a page that might be of interest (other ODE solver integrated 
via f2py, maybe a little outdated):

http://moncs.cs.mcgill.ca/people/slacoste/research/report/SummerReport.html

IIRC, another system for solving ODEs was developed at the same place.
