Problems using fsolve to find two unknowns in Python

I've been having problems trying to estimate two variables while using fsolve. Below is the code
def f(variables):
#Ideal
n=0 #this is passed as an argument but given in this example for simplicity
P1 = 101325; T1 = 300
q = 'H2:2,O2:1,N2:{}'.format(molno[n])
mech = 'H2O2sandan.cti'
cj_speed,R2,plot_data = CJspeed(P1,T1,q,mech,fullOutput=True)
gas = PostShock_fr(cj_speed, P1, T1, q, mech)
Ta = gas.T; Ps = gas.P;
CVout1 = cvsolve(gas)
taua = CVout1['ind_time']
Tb = Ta*1.01
gas.TPX = Tb,Ps,q
CVout2 = cvsolve(gas)
taub = CVout2['ind_time']
#Constant Volume
k,Ea = variables
T_0_1= Tvn_mg_d[n]
T_vn_1 = Tvn_mg_d[n]
den = rhovn_mg_d[n]
t = np.linspace(0,0.0001,100000000)
qr = Q_mg[n]
perfect_var = T_vn_1,den,Ea,k,qr
sol_t= odeint(ode,T_0_1,t=t,args=(perfect_var,))
index = np.argmax(np.gradient(sol_t[:,0]))
tau_cv_1 = t[index]
T_0_2= Tvn_mg_d[n]*1.01
T_vn_2 = Tvn_mg_d[n]*1.01
den = rhovn_mg_d[n]
t = np.linspace(0,0.0001,100000000)
qr = Q_mg[n]
perfect_var = T_vn_2,den,Ea,k,qr
sol_t= odeint(ode,T_0_2,t=t,args=(perfect_var,))
index = np.argmax(np.gradient(sol_t[:,0]))
tau_cv_2 = t[index]
root1 = taua - t_cv_1
root2 = taub - t_cv_2
return[root1,root2]
import scipy.optimize as opt
k_guess = 95000
Ea_guess = 28*300
solution = opt.fsolve(f,(k_guess,Ea_guess))
print(solution)
I want to find values of k_guess and Ea_guess such that roo1 and roo2 are 0 (i.e. taua = t_cv_1 and taub = t_cv_2). However I don't know if I've used fsolve the right way as the values returned seem to be way off. Am I returning the right thing? I also get the below error:
lsoda-- warning..internal t (=r1) and h (=r2) are
such that in the machine, t + h = t on the next step
(h = step size). solver will continue anyway
What am I doing wrong here?

Nothing Happens When Running Script in Spyder

I am running this code and oddly, nothing happens. There is no error nor does it freeze. It simply just runs the code without storing variables, nothing is printed out and it doesn't open the window that is supposed to show the plot. So it simply does nothing. It is very odd. This worked only a few minutes ago and I did not change anything about it previously. I did make sure that the variable explorer is displaying all the definitions in the script. I intentionally removed the plotting section at the end since it just made the code set longer and the same issue persists here without it.

"Property 'pos' must be a vector" Error when I run VPython Code

When I run this code I get an error "Error: Property 'pos' must be a vector." Do I have to write another vector somewhere? Because I wrote vector at
grav_force = vector(0,-object.mass*grav_field,0)
This is my whole code

to

Perspective projection and rotation in python

I've tried searching but none of the other questions seem to be like mine. I'm more or less experimenting with perspective projection and rotation in python, and have run into a snag. I'm sure my projection equations are accurate, as well as my rotation equations; however, when I run it, the rotation starts normal, but begins to swirl inwards until the vector is in the same position as the Z axis (the axis I am rotating over).

Thank you for any input :)
EDIT: Sorry, I just realized I forgot to put my question. I just want to know why it is gravitating inward, and not just rotating "normally"?

This section is wrong:
self.ang += 1
if self.ang >= 361:
self.ang = 0
self.vPoint.X = (self.vPoint.X * cos(radians(self.ang))
- self.vPoint.Y * sin(radians(self.ang)))
self.vPoint.Y = (self.vPoint.X * sin(radians(self.ang))
+ self.vPoint.Y * cos(radians(self.ang)))
self.vPoint.pProject()
For two reasons:
self.ang will take integers in the open range [0 - 360], which means the angle 360 (== 0) is repeated.
In each iteration, you rotate the point from the previous iteration by the angle. As a result, your first frame is at 1 degree, your second at 1+2 = 3, the third at 1 + 2 + 3... You should either be:
rotating the point from the previous iteration by a constant angle each time (1°). This suffers from the problem mentioned in my comment
rotating the initial point by the current angle of rotation each time

Not actualy related to your problem, but I strongly suggest you to use Numpy to perform geometric transformations, specially if it involves 3D points.
Below, I post a sample snippet, I hope it helps:
import numpy
from math import radians, cos, sin
## suppose you have a Nx3 cloudpoint (it might even be a single row of x,y,z coordinates)
cloudpoint = give_me_a_cloudpoint()
## this will be a rotation around Y azis:
yrot = radians(some_angle_in_degrees)
## let's create a rotation matrix using a numpy array
yrotmatrix = numpy.array([[cos(yrot), 0, -sin(yrot)],
[0, 1, 0],
[sin(yrot), 0, cos(yrot)]], dtype=float)
## apply the rotation via dot multiplication
rotatedcloud = numpy.dot(yrotmatrix, pointcloud.T).T # .T means transposition
