[Numpy-discussion] Can not update a submatrix

[Nadav Horesh]

In the following piece of code:

>>> import numpy as N
>>> R = N.arange(9).reshape(3,3)
>>> ax = [1,2]
>>> R
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [6, 7, 8]])
>>> R[ax,:][:,ax] = 100
>>> R
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 4, 5],
       [6, 7, 8]])

Why R is not updated?

I was expecting:

>>> R
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 100, 100],
       [6, 100, 100]])

I am using numpy 1.04 on gentoo-linux/amd64
