Hi Robert,

Is there a special reason why you have used the CSC format ?

speye(n, m=None, k=0, dtype='d')
    speye( n, m ) returns a (n, m) matrix tored
    in CSC sparse matrix format, where the  k-th diagonal is all ones,
    and everything else is zeros.

It should be stored instead of tored ;-)

spidentity(n, dtype='d')
    spidentity( n ) returns the identity matrix of shape (n, n) stored
    in CSC sparse matrix format.

Thank you again.

Nils
