This is a typo bug in your version of new scipy.  This has already been 
fixed in the latest version of SciPy.  Which one are you using?   You 
can fix it by relacing 'up' with 'um'

This should work if the shapes are consistent (in fact you dont need to 
slice the right hand side:  new_matrix[:, lato, :] = datamatrix should 
work).

Please report any problem you find.  But using the latest version of 
scipy core is advised.
