Numerical optimization free soft and forum

[Dmitrey]

Hi all,
recently free optimization framework openopt v 0.21 (BSD license) has 
been released:
http://openopt.blogspot.com/2008/12/openopt-release-021.html

Some initial versions were MATLAB/Octave written, but then because of 
some reasons it had been rewritten to Python.

Still Octave users can use it, for example, from SAGE 
(http://sagemath.org), also, IIRC, there are some other tools for 
sticking Python and MATLAB/Octave code

Let me also invite you to the numerical optimization forum at 
openopt.org: http://forum.openopt.org
