Actually, if I look here: http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.core.fromnumeric.put/
The text that appears in by browser is: *put(a, ind, v, mode='raise')* Changes specific elements of one array by replacing from another array. The indexing works on the flattened target array, put<http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.core.fromnumeric.put/#put>is roughly equivalent to: for i, val in zip(ind, v): x.flat[i] = val Am I missing something obvious???? cheers, William On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:43 AM, Joe Harrington <j...@physics.ucf.edu> wrote: > william ratcliff <william.ratcl...@gmail.com> writes: > > > Hi!
