Not so long ago, there was an effort by Nathan Bell and others reimplementing sparsetools + scipy.sparse to get better usability and performance. My (almost latest) version is 0.5.3.dev2860. r. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
