Hi,
I want to solve linear least sqaure problem( min||c-Ax||2 subject to
Bx=d ). How do I do it in python. lapack has a routine for doing this
(DGGLSE). Can I access this from python?
Check out scipy, in particular the linear algebra package.

Cheers,

Or you could try numarray, available for use with Python 2.4
Neither of these solve the generalized least squares problem.
However, it is easier to add to scipy.linalg. Look at the file
scipy/Lib/linalg/generic_flapack.py and copy and modify the block for
DGELSS to work for DGGLSE. Then modify the Python function
scipy.linalg.lstsq to take the optional extra arguments and do the
generalized problem. Finally, contribute your changes back to scipy and
win the accolades you deserve.
