help with slicing/replacing matrix sections.

[Erik Lind]

I see a more complicated thread on a similar sounding question, but my 
question is simpler, I hope.

I have a large numpy matrix, initially created as:

Mat = zeros((a,b), int)

and a smaller array with other data

Sub = [1,2,3,4,5],[6,7,8,9,0]

I want to replace a section of Mat matrix with Sub matrix without having to 
loop through each cell in each matrix individually.

I thought index/slice assignments, should be able to do that, but I can only 
get it to work (as per book examples) with simple arrays. Every syntax 
combination I have tried gives one error or another, typically "can't 
broadcast an object....", but intuitively it seems there should be a simple 
solution.

In short, how do I insert the data in the two (or any number of) rows in 
Sub[0:2] into any part of Mat starting at Mat[x,y] without using "for" loops 
?
