[SciPy-user] Least Squares error message.

[steve schmerler]

Hi

Well it looks as if the algorithm met one of its termination criterias 
('ftol', at least mpfit (see earlier posts for mpfit) gives exactly the 
same message).

Maybe you should post your code part which calls leastsq.

Cheers,
Steve
