if my interpretation is now correct, and because I have seen many traces lately

>>> res = - np.dot(x.T, mass*x)
>>> res[np.arange(3), np.arange(3)] -= np.trace(res)
>>> res
array([[ 35752.5, -16755. , -17287.5],
       [-16755. ,  34665. , -17865. ],
       [-17287.5, -17865. ,  33532.5]])


>>> res - inert
array([[  7.27595761e-12,   0.00000000e+00,   3.63797881e-12],
       [  0.00000000e+00,   0.00000000e+00,   0.00000000e+00],
       [  0.00000000e+00,   0.00000000e+00,   0.00000000e+00]])
