I am new to Python and a I need to performe some calculations using the package Scipy.
I installed Scipy (0.14) from synaptic and implemented the desired code.
Everything worked well.
Now, I realized that I need to download a newer version of the source code (more precisely, https:// github.com/ scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/optimize/ slsqp.py) and modify it before performing the calculations.
How can I use the modified code without changing the installed version?
It follows a simple version of the problem I need to solve

import numpy as np import scipy from scipy.optimize import minimize # here I need to insert the modified code ####################### def blackbox(x): fit = 0 for val in x: fit = fit + val*val return fit ####################### x0=[1,1] print scipy.__version__ res = minimize(blackbox, x0, method='SLSQP', options={'disp': True, 'maxiter':10, 'eps': 0.01, 'ftol': 1e-05}) print(res.x)
