Python Numpy/Scipy OpenOpt

I am still making slow progress on reading and comprehending The Science of Decision Making given various time constraints. But progress is being made. As I am building my Linear Programing (LP) knowledge I decided to seek out how I could perform LP with Python. For now, the OpenOpt library seems to be the most documented way. Here is an example of using the library for LP. Since my current book focuses on Excel, I am looking to transfer the example from the book to Python to compare the results. I know I keep repeating myself on what I plan to do, but blogging about this has the following advantages: 1) Let's you know I have not lost interest 2) Allows me to keep a document of my developing thoughts in a central place 3) Forces me to think through my plan to build operations management skills.
