Sure? What you mention is in site-packages/scipy/integrate/ode.py where 
the class ode is defined. But I'm using integrate.odeint (in 
site-packages/scipy/integrate/odepack.py) and there is nothing mentioned 
about it. odeint is there called like this

import _odepack

[...]

output = _odepack.odeint(func, y0, t, args, Dfun, col_deriv, ml, mu,
                              full_output, rtol, atol, tcrit, h0, hmax,hmin,
                              ixpr, mxstep, mxhnil, mxordn, mxords)


BTW, does anyone have experiences with the ode class (and it's vode (or 
cvode?) solver) rather than odeint's lsoda?

cheers,
steve
