[SciPy-user] Bug in minpack.leastsq() with Jacobian.

[Henk Jansen]

As the owner of this prpblem I did some homework. I guess I've found a
bug in "scipy.minpack.leastsq.py" :

When a Jacobian is given (i.e. Dfun != None) the Jacobian Dfun() should
be tested in check_func(...) and not the residuals func().

Have a nice weekend,
