[SciPy-user] NaN in matrices

[Tim McKenna]

Hi,
I've gotten used to using NaN in matrices (mostly for missing data 
values) in Matlab and Octave.
there you can go:
a = [ 1 2 ; NaN 4] no problem

i tried
 >>> a = mat('[1 3 5; 2 5 3; NaN 5 7]')
among other things and scipy balks

Is there a way to use NaN in matrices/arrays

Tim
