CVXOPT is a package for specifying and solving convex optimization problems. Version 0.3 is a pre-release and includes the following.
* Sparse and dense matrix extension types, interfaces to most of the BLAS 'double' routines, interfaces to the dense linear equation solvers and symmetric eigenvalue routines from LAPACK, interfaces to the sparse linear equation solvers UMFPACK and LDL and a simple C API for extension writers.
* A linear programming solver written in Python.
* A modeling tool for specifying convex optimization problems with piecewise-linear objective and constraint functions.
Future releases will include solvers and modeling support for other classes of convex optimization problems (for example, quadratic, geometric, second-order cone and semidefinite programming).
