[SciPy-user] Read data file with scipy.io.read_array()

[Ryan Krauss]

I copied and pasted the data from your e-mail into a text file.  I had 
no problems reading it in - but python matrices use 0 as the first 
index, so I changed the second index to 4:

u=scipy.io.read_array('test.txt',columns=((0,4)))

and it worked fine. 

By the way, I ran it in ipython on windows and using the 5 index gave me 
a useful error message rather than a seg fault.
