[Numpy-discussion] setting items in a matrix

[lorenzo bolla]

or, you can either use fill.

In [53]: M = numpy.matrix(numpy.zeros((3,5)))
In [55]: M.fill(999)
In [56]: M
Out[56]:
matrix([[ 999.,  999.,  999.,  999.,  999.],
        [ 999.,  999.,  999.,  999.,  999.],
        [ 999.,  999.,  999.,  999.,  999.]])
