Re: MA.zeros problem

Stephen,

You might try something like:

>>> a = MA.zeros((2,2))
>>> a
array(
 [[0,0,]
 [0,0,]])
>>> a[1,1] = 2
>>> a
array(
 [[0,0,]
 [0,2,]])

Because MA uses copy semantics, when you specify a[1][1], the a[1] makes
a copy of the first row of the original array, and then the second [1]
index does a setitem on that.  If you use the a[1,1] syntax, the setitem
is done on 'a' itself.

Hope this is of some help.
