cannot import minimize in scipy

optimization, python, scipy, scipy-optimize-minimize

Solution

You need Scipy version 0.11.0, the first beta was released some time ago.

If you don't have it, you should read the tutorial for the version of scipy you have, for example: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.10.1/reference/tutorial/optimize.html

Problem

I am working with scipy trying to test out the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm. I am exactly following the example code shown here: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/optimize.html This line causes an error: from scipy.optimize import minimize It says it cannot import name minimize. Am I importing something wrong?
