deterministic annealing method

I have ran into a shape matching problem and one term which I read about is deterministic annealing. I want to use this method to convert discrete problems, e.g. travelling salesman problem to continuous problems which could assist of sticking in the local minima. I don't know whether there is already an implementation of this statistical method and also implementation of it seems a bit challenging for me because I couldn't completely understand what this method does and couldn't find enough documentations. Can somebody explain it more or introduce a library especially in python that got already implemented?

You can see explication on Simulated annealing. Also, take a look to scipy.optimize.anneal.
