[Tutor] least squares

[Jason Child]

well, not sure if there is a module with the function you are looking 
for, but...

#sloppy as hell method:

#...
if str(my_returned_value).find("-") != -1:
    return my_returned_value #or whatever you want to do with it
#...

#slightly less sloppy as hell method:

if my_returned_value < 0:
    return my_returned_value
