One difficulty I am having with using Python for scientific computing is
that I cannot figure out good ways to get arbitrary (unpatterned?) slices.
As an example, in R or Matlab / Octave, syntax exists such that:
vals = range(6)
wanted = [1,2,3,1,1,1]
vals[wanted] = [1,2,3,1,1,1]
Both of those
I wish something like this was part of the standard python installation,
and didn't require one to use Numpy or Numarray. This sort of list
subsetting is useful in many, many contexts.
