Can scipy.optimize.fmin() optimize more than one variable at once?

Hi All,

I am trying to optimize for more than 1 variable at the same time. is that possible?

I am trying to use this properly but I keep getting the same error.

TypeError: optimizefunction() argument after * must be a sequence

def optimizefunction(x,y,z):
x=5

return abs(x-y*z)

print scipy.optimize.fmin(optimizefunction, 2, (y,z))
