Anyone know where I can get an easy to use Python class or algorithm for
the Simplex optimization algorithm? I've tried the one in the link
below, but I can't figure out if a) I'm using it properly, or b) where
to get the solution. BTW, I tried some test scenarios using MS Excel's
"Solver" and just can't get this algorithm to match Excel's results
(which is spot on).

BTW, if I can't something to work, I'm going to be forced to use the VBA
programmatic Excel interface. That wouldn't be too bad, but the data
comes from a DB and getting it properly positioned to use Excel's
"Solver" is very painful. A Python approach would be much cleaner.
Thanks,
