I have another one bug that should be mentioned:
if I modify any source file and then run "python setup.py install" once 
again I have error:

zipimport.ZipImportError: bad local file header in

So currently each time I have modified openopt source code I have to use
"rm /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/*openopt*"
