Add ITP method?

[zoj613]

I think the ITP method for root-finding would be a nice addition since it's unlikely to make it into scipy.

Is there a scipy bug report or pull request where this idea had been rejected?

No there isn't. It is my guess based on scipy policies about new code. This method is not widely used and seems new so it would take a long time before it gets accepted into scipy. I (and many others) have proposed new algorithms in the past with no success, where maintainers expressed that they only prefer adding methods with many citations and those that have been around for a while.

I understand, same situation here. (That's why I created scipyx.) You should at least try and suggest it for scipy though. You can also just PR here, of course.
