The Python wrapper
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This code uses F2PY (http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/) to generate
|
||
|
|
the wrapper around the Fortran code.
|
||

Installation
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure you have F2PY, scipy_distutils, and a BLAS library that
|
||
|
|
scipy_distutils can find. Then,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ python setup.py build
|
||
|
|
$ python setup.py install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and you're done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example usage
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An example of the usage is given at the bottom of the lbfgsb.py file.
|
||
|
|
Run it with 'python lbfgsb.py'.
