Hi,
Thanks James. I've merged your patch in r4802: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/changeset/4802 Good stuff. I'd like to make some more changes/cleanups, but there's a few things i'm not sure about.
Firstly, I'd like to remove the functions 'conjtranspose', 'take' + 'split'. All of them seem non-standard and can be expressed in other ways. If functions are removed, should they be deprecated first? I'm not sure what the policy is on a pre 1.0 release. Secondly, using __getitem__ with slices currently requires an O(nnz) crawl over all the values. Should we support this usage? My preference would be to only allow elementwise access, though for __setitem__ using slices is fine. James
