Is it also possible, that mmread returns sparse matrices when reading
sparse matrices from *.mtx ?

Is it generally possible to switch between sparse and dense format of 
matrices
in scipy ?

Now, scipy has some iterative solvers for linear systems. Can I use both
dense and sparse matrices with respect to cg,... ?

How about sparse eigensolvers in scipy e.g. ARPACK ?
