[SciPy-user] NNLS in scipy

Hi,

I'd like to perform some "non-negatively constraint least squares"
algorithm to fit my data, like this:

Signal = SUM a_i C_i

where C_i is some simulated signal and a_i the amplitude contributed by
that simulated signal. Or in terms of arrays, I will have one reference
array and several arrays of simulated signals. How can find the
(non-negative) coefficients a_i for each simulated signal array? (All
negative contributions should be discarded.)

Is there anything like that in scipy (which I couldn't find)? Or any
other code doing that?

Else I could write it myself and contribute, but having some working
code would be nice, of course.

TIA
Christian
