Is anyone aware of python library that does function minimization a la
Minuit (http://wwwasdoc.web.cern.ch/wwwasdoc/minuit/) used by CERN?

thanks

In the meantime, I found mpfit, but this is not working with
python2.5. Any advice?
thanks

If you have a C complier and the lapack, blas, and levmar
libraries, you could try pylevmar:

Have you checked the minimization function in scipy?
