[SciPy-user] optimize.leastsq fit errors?

[Gary Ruben]

Hi Robert,
I seem to remember you offered this for integration into scipy a while back and it was put on the backburner for some reason. Licensing or something? If my memory is correct, I'd just like to say to the scipy overlords that I think it would be nice to see it integrated.
