[SciPy-user] General_purpose root-finding routines

[eric jones]

I'm all for more solvers/optimizers -- especially a constrained solver
for nonlinear optimization problems.  The best I know of is cfsqp (Andre
Tits is the author I believe), but it isn't open source.  If we could
get one of comparable quality in SciPy, that would be a *huge* addition.

There are probably a lot of more specialized solvers for specific
problem types that would also be big additions.

I don't know of anyone working on such things.
