Yes,
I have just sent an email with a paper attached that shows the method 
that I have implemented. Note, again I have no trouble with the MATLAB 
code --- it works correctly (according to the author of the paper). And, 
I was able to isolate the problem with the numpy/Python implementation 
to the QR factorization obtained from numpy.linalg.qr.
