In my Uni, my scientific professor asked me to make some researches about the extreme points of polyhedrals. And I did them. I found that there is still no code in public for searching extreme points for polyhedral with n dimensions (n - x's), but polyhedrons are everywhere (CV, game theories, etc.). I wrote a function for this task and made a python library (also there are matrix and array combination maker functions).

All I want is to make this code more optimal and compatible for all python versions (I have some troubles that some times happen when I install it by "pip install lin", but other times no). I want to make the life of people easier and make it more comfortable.

I am asking for you to test this function on your computer and write if you have any bugs, fails or thoughts on how to make it better. I am open to constructive criticism and non-constructive too (it will help to understand if somebody needs it or that is just a waste of time).

All the examples, instructions and code on my GitHub: https://github.com/r4ndompuff/polyhedral_set

I created a rudimentary pull request to your GitHub repo. I won't show all of the content here except for the main file:

This is a first cut mainly for PEP8 compliance, and doesn't solve the bigger issue that you should replace 99% of this with a call to scipy. I'll do that separately (I suspect that @vnp is, as well).
