eye simply creates an array with ones on the diagonal. To solve this problem I
would create a zero array of the correct size and then index into the array.

#Define array size
N = 8

#Define the data to put in the upper-diagonal part of the array
myData = rand(N*(N-1)/2)

#Create an index to the upper-diagonal part
idx = triu(ones([8,8])-eye(8)).nonzero()

#Instantiate a zero array and populate the upper-triangular part with myData
A = zeros([N,N],dtype=float)
A[idx] = myData

#Place ones on the diagonal
A += eye(N)
