What is the fastest way to code this particular block of code below.. I used numeric for this currently and I thought it should be really fast.. But, for large sets of data (bx and vbox) it takes a long time and I would like to improve.
vbox = array(m) (size: 1000x1000 approx) for b in bx: vbox[ b[1], b[0]:b[2] ] = 0 vbox[ b[3], b[0]:b[2] ] = 0 vbox[ b[1]:b[3], b[0] ] = 0 vbox[ b[1]:b[3], b[2] ] = 0 and vbox is a 2D array where bx is of form [( int,int,int,int),(........) ] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
