***[Possible UCE]*** [SciPy-user] no __setitem__ in spmatrix class

[pascal barbedor]

ok thanks for the info
I'll stick to using PySparse then

as a user I have a request for a n-d sparse array class and not only
2d-matrix
with possibility to take slices like in an ordinary nd array

I have more or less built such a class based on PySparse if that can be of
any interest

thanks
P
