Attempting OpenOpt

I decided to try using Python with OpenOpt, but I ran into a little issue with the module. You can see the bug report I filed with the OpenOpt forum. While on the forum site I found there are discussions for Linear problems, Network (mathematical not digital) problems, and Stochastic problems. These are all topics covered under Operations Management. After I get my OpenOpt install figured out, I will start with reviewing the Linear problems to see how I can build skills and participate in the forum.
