     Find the roots of a function.

     Description:

       Return the roots of the (non-linear) equations 
defined by
       func(x)=0 given a starting estimate.

     Inputs:

       func -- A Python function or method which takes at 
least one
               (possibly vector) argument.
       x0 -- The starting estimate for the roots of 
func(x)=0.
       args -- Any extra arguments to func are placed in 
this tuple.
       fprime -- A function or method to compute the 
Jacobian of func with
               derivatives across the rows. If this is 
None, the
               Jacobian will be estimated.
       full_output -- non-zero to return the optional 
outputs.
       col_deriv -- non-zero to specify that the Jacobian 
function
                    computes derivatives down the columns 
(faster, because
                    there is no transpose operation).
       warning -- True to print a warning message when the 
call is
                   unsuccessful; False to suppress the 
warning message.
     Outputs: (x, {infodict, ier, mesg})

       x -- the solution (or the result of the last 
iteration for an
            unsuccessful call.
