[Numpy-discussion] Subarray with with arbitrary index?

[Paul F. Dubois]

John is right:
>>> a=Numeric.arange(8)
>>> b=Numeric.array([2,3,5])
>>> c=Numeric.arange(3)+100
>>> Numeric.put(a,b,c)
>>> print a
[  0   1 100 101   4 102   6   7]

Thanks for pointing out that I had left allclose out of the Numeric part of
the manual. I did it in the MA part and then forgot. I'm fixing it now. BTW:
There are changenotes at source forge that are sometimes ahead of the
manual.

f = Numeric.put
f(a, b, c)

put used to be in Python, but it's been in C since some release 17.x.x, I
think.

I have a sinking feeling that I must have missed something (no interpreter
here to check it works)...

BTW, a week ago I noticed that I had reinvented the wheel in rewriting, in
an uglier and less efficient form, Numeric.allclose (hope I got the name
right).  As far as I can see, it isn't listed in the manual.  Did I miss
it?  All it would need is the docstring copying over.
