It it also more efficient on a smaller skale (and does the right thing): sage: MS = MatrixSpace(ZZ,100,50) sage: L = [[ZZ.random_element() for _ in range(50)] for __ in range(100)] sage: timeit('M = MS(0)\nfor i in range(len(L)): M[i]=L[i]') 625 loops, best of 3: 602 µs per loop sage: timeit('M = Matrix(ZZ,L)') 125 loops, best of 3: 2.81 ms per loop sage: M = MS(0) sage: for i in range(len(L)): M[i]=L[i] ....: sage: M == Matrix(ZZ,L) True Cheers, Simon -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
