Python in a Nutshell

Name

put

Synopsis

put(a,indices,values)

a must be a contiguous array. indices is a sequence of integers, taken as indices into a .flat. values is a sequence of values that can be converted to a’s type code (if shorter than indices, values is repeated as needed). Each element of a indicated by an item in indices is replaced by the corresponding item in values. put is therefore similar to (but faster than) the loop:

for i,v in zip(indices,values*len(indices)):
    a.flat[i]=v
