Changeset 5790 has been added to scipy's trunk in May last year and will probably go in for scipy-0.8. The issue is with the fminbound function in the optimize.py component. fminbound accept scalar or length 1 array and should return the same, without this patch a length 1 array is usually returned. This leads to test breakage in sage. A patched version of scipy-0.7.1 is currently in the sage-on-gentoo overlay.
Couöld you please provide a link to the overlay.
What about scipy 0.7.2?
(In reply to comment #2) > What about scipy 0.7.2? > It should apply cleanly on it as well, but because there was a change of API we are sticking to 0.7.1 for now. the overlay is at: http://github.com/cschwan/sage-on-gentoo I was planning to put a patch closer to the changeset in the science overlay later on. The patch in sage-on-gentoo doesn't include the change to the tests.
Created attachment 231905 [details, diff] patch to apply the given changeset.
In CVS. Thanks!
