This is more of a feature request.

We have a license (and Fortran source) for SNOPT. SNOPT would be a good option to have, because it is a sequential quadratic programming method (IPOPT is interior point). In my experience, SNOPT works better on highly nonlinear problems when a good initial guess is available.

A quick google search reveals three python-snopt interfaces on Github, and one in pyopt.org. Of course we need one that supports sparse matrices.

Totally. I have a group of students working on a project related to this, so I'm going to put some time in again now. I'll send you an email.
