  Description     : Python module for numerical optimization

 Numerical optimization framework developed in Python which provides
 connections to lots of solvers with easy and unified OpenOpt
 syntax. Problems which can be tackled with OpenOpt
  * Linear Problem (LP)
  * Mixed-Integer Linear Problem (MILP)
  * Quadratic Problem (QP)
  * Non-Linear Problem (NLP)
  * Non-Smooth Problem (NSP)
  * Non-Linear Solve Problem (NLSP)
  * Least Squares Problem (LSP)
  * Linear Least Squares Problem (LLSP)
  * Mini-Max Problem (MMP)
  * Global Problem (GLP)
 .
 A variety of solvers is available (e.g. IPOPT, ALGENCAN).
