OpenOpt (license: BSD) contains connections to tens of solvers and has some own Python-written ones, e.g. nonlinear solver with specifiable accuracy: interalg, graphic output of convergence and some more numerical optimization "MUST HAVE" features. Also OpenOpt can solve FuncDesigner problems with automatic differentiation, that usually work faster and gives more precise results than finite-differences derivatives approximation.
