[SciPy-user] Sparse indexing workarounds

[Bill Baxter]

Ack!  Pysparse's update_add_mask is bugged!

In [188]: K = arange(12).reshape((3,4))
In [189]: L = spmatrix.ll_mat(10,10)
In [190]: L.update_add_mask(K, [7,8,9],[3,4,5,6], [True]*3,[True]*4)
In [191]: todense(L)
Out[191]:
array([[  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   0.,   3.,   6.,   9.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   1.,   4.,   7.,  10.,   0.,   0.,   0.],
       [  0.,   0.,   0.,   2.,   5.,   8.,  11.,   0.,   0.,   0.]])
In [192]: K
Out[192]:
array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
       [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
       [ 8,  9, 10, 11]])

Notice how K got transposed and reshaped.  To make it work properly
you have to do

    L.update_add_mask(K.T.reshape(3,4), [7,8,9],[3,4,5,6], [True]*3,[True]*4)
