Now I have to do v = >dot(u, identity(N)), which is kind of silly. You can use v = 1*u or v = u.copy() to get the type of copy you want. >2. Is there a way to do Matlab style slicing? Use the take function. The output of the following code from Numeric import array,take a = array([1,2]) b = a c = 1*a d = a.copy() a[0] = 3 print b print c print d print take(a,[1,0,1]) is [3 2] [1 2] [1 2] [2 3 2] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
