    Hi,
    I'm wanting to try out ffnet but I get the following error when I try to run the example sin.py.

    Note: This problem occurs with both the 0.6 ffnet Windows binary from sourceforge and the latest svn version. I also tried two versions of networkx. I'm running windows XP.

    networkx.__version__ = '0.33-svn' / '0.36-svn'
    scipy.__version__ = '0.6.dev3271'
    numpy.__version__ = '1.0.2.dev3543'

    It looks like a very interesting package so any help getting it up and running would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Error is as shown below:
    NB: the same error occurs executing net(conec)

      Hi!

      I know this error. It occurs when you use svn version of scipy and the tnc agorithm. The scipy people changed recently the output order of the fmin_tnc function. You have a couple of choices to fix this for now: 1. switch to the release version os scipy, 2. use another training function, 3. go to ffnet.py module, the line:

      self.weights = optimize.fmin_tnc(.......)[ -1 ]

      and change it to:

      self.weights = optimize.fmin_tnc(.......)[ 0 ]

      Also, in a short time, i'll try to get it to work for both cases and i commit the result to the svn.

      Greetings
      Marek
