Hey guys,
searching for nlopt Python tutorials I found this wrapper which at some time belonged to the revrand project apparently:
https://www.earthbyte.org/webdav/ftp/Data_Collections/Dutkiewicz_etal_2016_G3/revrand-master/revrand/optimize/nlopt_wrap.py
In a nutshell, the wrapper enables to call nlopt algorithms with the scipy.optimize.minimize API that has become the de facto standard in Python. It makes it a lot easier for everyone familiar with this API to use nlopt.
I find that code very useful and would like to make it more accessible by a dedicated repo/package and a few minor extensions. As I am not that familiar with licensing, I wanted to ask you what the process would have to be. The code seems to be Apache licensed, so in my understanding it should be possible given the reference to the authors.
I hope this is the right place to ask!
