Scipy.optimize.minimize implementation

[Andrea Maccarrone]

Is it possible to integrate this optimizer with the scipy function?

[Nikolaus Hansen]

I am pretty sure it should be possible, depending on what "integrate with" precisely means. Writing

• a converter of the scipy.optimize.minimize input arguments to the input arguments of cma.fmin2 and
• a converter of the output of cma.fmin2 into the format of scipy.optimize.minimize

should already do the majority of the trick?
