[SciPy-user] Coo_constructor

[Nils Wagner]

Hi all,

I use the coo constructor to build sparse matrices.
A_i = coo_matrix( (vals_i, (rows_i, cols_i)) )

I read the data for each matrix from a different file.

One of the matrices is rank-one with only non-zero entry.

(7, 7)        5.0

Another matrix has the entries

   (0, 0)        80000000.0
   (0, 1)        -120000000.0
   (1, 0)        -120000000.0
   (1, 1)        480000000.0
   (0, 2)        40000000.0
   (2, 0)        40000000.0
   (2, 2)        160000000.0

   (14, 15)      40000000.0
   (15, 14)      40000000.0
   (15, 15)      80000000.0


How can I circumvent the
ValueError: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to 
a single shape

if I try to add the matrices ?
