Упомянутые вами функции поиска строки Scipy используются только в некоторых реализациях оптимизации на основе Python.
L-BFGS-B, с другой стороны, полностью упакован (позволяет устанавливать только верхнее число ls-итераций) и использует эталонную реализацию (которая является кодом Фортрана).
Хотя исходный код может позволять изменять эти константы (слишком ленив, чтобы проверять драйвер), это не похоже на скучную упаковку.

c
c Subroutine dcsrch
c
c This subroutine finds a step that satisfies a sufficient
c decrease condition and a curvature condition.
c
c Each call of the subroutine updates an interval with
c endpoints stx and sty. The interval is initially chosen
c so that it contains a minimizer of the modified function
c
c psi(stp) = f(stp) - f(0) - ftol*stp*f'(0).
c
c If psi(stp) <= 0 and f'(stp) >= 0 for some step, then the
c interval is chosen so that it contains a minimizer of f.
c
c The algorithm is designed to find a step that satisfies
c the sufficient decrease condition
c
c f(stp) <= f(0) + ftol*stp*f'(0),
c
c and the curvature condition
c
c abs(f'(stp)) <= gtol*abs(f'(0)).
c
c If ftol is less than gtol and if, for example, the function
c is bounded below, then there is always a step which satisfies
c both conditions.
c
c If no step can be found that satisfies both conditions, then
c the algorithm stops with a warning. In this case stp only
c satisfies the sufficient decrease condition.
c
c A typical invocation of dcsrch has the following outline:
c
c task = 'START'
c 10 continue
c call dcsrch( ... )
c if (task .eq. 'FG') then
c Evaluate the function and the gradient at stp
c goto 10
c end if
c
c NOTE: The user must no alter work arrays between calls.
c
c The subroutine statement is
c
c subroutine dcsrch(f,g,stp,ftol,gtol,xtol,stpmin,stpmax,
c task,isave,dsave)
c where
c
c f is a double precision variable.
c On initial entry f is the value of the function at 0.
c On subsequent entries f is the value of the
c function at stp.
c On exit f is the value of the function at stp.
c
c g is a double precision variable.
c On initial entry g is the derivative of the function at 0.
c On subsequent entries g is the derivative of the
c function at stp.
c On exit g is the derivative of the function at stp.
c
c stp is a double precision variable.
c On entry stp is the current estimate of a satisfactory
c step. On initial entry, a positive initial estimate
c must be provided.
c On exit stp is the current estimate of a satisfactory step
c if task = 'FG'. If task = 'CONV' then stp satisfies
c the sufficient decrease and curvature condition.
c
c ftol is a double precision variable.
c On entry ftol specifies a nonnegative tolerance for the
c sufficient decrease condition.
c On exit ftol is unchanged.
c
c gtol is a double precision variable.
c On entry gtol specifies a nonnegative tolerance for the
c curvature condition.
c On exit gtol is unchanged.
c
c xtol is a double precision variable.
c On entry xtol specifies a nonnegative relative tolerance
c for an acceptable step. The subroutine exits with a
c warning if the relative difference between sty and stx
c is less than xtol.
c On exit xtol is unchanged.
c
c stpmin is a double precision variable.
c On entry stpmin is a nonnegative lower bound for the step.
c On exit stpmin is unchanged.
c
c stpmax is a double precision variable.
c On entry stpmax is a nonnegative upper bound for the step.
c On exit stpmax is unchanged.
c
c task is a character variable of length at least 60.
c On initial entry task must be set to 'START'.
c On exit task indicates the required action:
c
c If task(1:2) = 'FG' then evaluate the function and
c derivative at stp and call dcsrch again.
c
c If task(1:4) = 'CONV' then the search is successful.
c
c If task(1:4) = 'WARN' then the subroutine is not able
c to satisfy the convergence conditions. The exit value of
c stp contains the best point found during the search.
c
c If task(1:5) = 'ERROR' then there is an error in the
c input arguments.
c
c On exit with convergence, a warning or an error, the
c variable task contains additional information.
c
c isave is an integer work array of dimension 2.
c
c dsave is a double precision work array of dimension 13.

Кроме того, похоже, что этот LS тоже обернут , но я не вижу способа изменить оригинальный алгоритм LBFGS-B.
