title: The Assignment Problem, a NumPy function?
body: <p>Since an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem" rel="nofollow noreferrer">assignment problem</a> can be posed in the form of a single matrix, I am wondering if NumPy has a function to solve such a matrix. So far I have found none. Maybe one of you guys know if NumPy/SciPy has an assignment-problem-solve function?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> In the meanwhile I have found a Python (not NumPy/SciPy) implementation at <a href="http://software.clapper.org/munkres/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://software.clapper.org/munkres/</a>. Still I suppose a NumPy/SciPy implementation could be much faster, right?</p>
