[SciPy-User] element-wise exponentiation

[Christopher Mutel]

It is usually easier to mathematical operations on a compressed
matrix, e.g. CSR or CSC. Access the arrays that hold actual data is
much easier (in my opinion).

One simple option would be:
A = A.tocsr()
A.data = A.data**0.2 # This is the array that hold the actual values
in the sparse matrix
A = A.tolil() # If desired
