[SciPy-user] Sparse eigensolver

[Robert Cimrman]

There is also scipy.sandbox.lobpcg (pure scipy code, depending 
temporarily on symeig, until symeig functionality is in scipy)

It seems to run with recent scipy, but lobpcg/tests/benchmark.py gives 
two additional zero eigenvalues that are not in symeig results. Nils, 
have you tried it recently? This used to work...
