Hi

You can use scipy.io.read_array:


In [313]: b
Out[313]:
array([[0, 0, 0],
        [1, 0, 0],
        [2, 0, 0],
        [3, 0, 0],
        [4, 0, 0],
        [5, 0, 0],
        [6, 0, 0],
        [7, 0, 0],
        [8, 0, 0],
        [9, 0, 0]])

In [314]: scipy.io.write_array('testarray',b)

In [315]: scipy.io.read_array('testarray',lines=(1,(4,7)))
Out[315]:
array([[ 1.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 4.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 5.,  0.,  0.],
        [ 6.,  0.,  0.]])

In [316]:

HTH,
