[SciPy-user] Parameter estimation / Data fitting in scipy

[My VDI Freemail]

-------------------

Thank you for your prompt reply. Please can you send
me the missing module

>python hansen.py

Test: System Identification
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hansen.py", line 96, in ?
    from test.ode_system import TestOdeSystem
ImportError: No module named ode_system

Cheers,

           Nils
