Except that python uses 0-based indexing and does not include the last
number in a slice, while Matlab uses 1-based indexing and includes the
last number, so really:
    ux(:,1,col)
becomes:
    ux(0, 0, col) # or ux(:, 0, col)

And if col is
    col = [2:(ly-1)]
This needs to be:
    col = np.arange([1, ly - 1)
