Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes, I do not like to have to install Scientific Python just for this 
purpose. As I understand it has some modules which have to be compiled 
anyway.

I would be really grateful for any example code you provide.

BWT do you know such a standalone code for nonlinear equations set 
solving? Newton's method or something. I mean in Python only.

Thank you again.

Regards.
