Sorry; quite right. For completeness I'll post here as well as over on scipy. Here's the actual code: --------------------- from scipy import optimize from math import exp xxroot= optimize.fixed_point(lambda xx: exp(-2.0*xx)/2.0, 1.0, args=(), xtol=1e-12, maxiter=500) print ' %f solves fixed point, ie f(%f)=%f ?'% (xxroot,xxroot,exp(-2.0*xxroot)/2.0) Here is the output ------------------ Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56) In [1]: run tmp.py 0.332058 solves fixed point, ie f(0.332058)=0.257364 ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
