It is nice to clean up odeint or lsoda, but those are really deprecated
functions, replaced by sundials many years ago by Alan Hindmarsh (
http://history.siam.org/oralhistories/hindmarsh.htm). As I mentioned before
on this list, best would be to deprecate and replace by the modern version
which still sees bug fixes (
http://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html).

There are 3 python interfaces to sundials, one of which by me and a
collaborator: https://github.com/bmcage/odes
The other 2 are readily found on the internet, and expose even more of the
functionality.
