I am trying to make a large sparse matrix - the values are all integers (in fact all non-zeros will be 1) so it would save me a lot of memory if I could use dtype=byte.
I added 'b' to the string of allowed dtypes in getdtype() on line 2791 of sparse.py. It now seems to behave as I would expect (hope), but it can't be that simple can it? Is it likely that doing this will break something else? Why are the dtypes restricted in the first place. Thanks Robin
