[Numpy-discussion] Can't set an element of a subset of an array, , ,

[alan@ajackso...]

Okay, I'm stuck. Why doesn't this work?

In [226]: mask
Out[226]: array([False, False, False, ..., False, False, False], dtype=bool)

In [227]: mask[data['horizon']==i]
Out[227]:
array([ True,  True, False, False,  True, False, False, False, False,
        True, False, False, False,  True, False, False, False, False,
       False,  True, False, False, False, False, False, False,  True,
       False, False, False, False, False, False,  True, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False,  True, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False,  True, False,  True, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,  True,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,  True,
        True, False, False, False,  True, False,  True, False, False,
        True,  True, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False,  True, False, False, False,  True, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False,  True, False, False, False,
       False, False,  True, False, False, False, False, False,  True,
       False, False, False,  True, False,  True, False, False, False,
       False, False,  True, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,

       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,

       False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False,
       False, False, False, False, False, False], dtype=bool)

In [228]: mask[data['horizon']==i][2]
Out[228]: False

In [229]: mask[data['horizon']==i][2] = True

In [230]: mask[data['horizon']==i][2]
Out[230]: False
