the matrix is converted to array before the check:
def fmin_powell(func, x0, args=(), xtol=1e-4, ftol=1e-4, maxiter=None,
                maxfun=None, full_output=0, disp=1, retall=0, callback=None,
                direc=None):
...
    x = asfarray(x0).copy()
...
    rank = len(x.shape)
    if not -1 < rank < 2:
        if x.shape == (1,1): x = x.flatten()#matrix(0.3) for example
        else: raise ValueError, "Initial guess must be a scalar or 
rank-1 sequence."
So I had checked - it works
