The matrix (or Matrix) documentation reads:
INPUT:
* "ring" -- the base ring for the entries of the matrix.
* "nrows" -- the number of rows in the matrix.
* "ncols" -- the number of columns in the matrix.
* "sparse" -- create a sparse matrix. This defaults to "True"
when the entries are given as a dictionary, otherwise defaults to
"False".
* "entries" -- see examples below.
However, the examples below do not give any example of using "entries" as a
*keyword
argument*. And, indeed, passing `entries=...` in the call of Matrix raises
TypeError.
I can overcome this using positional arguments only. Here is a working
example:
sage: def f(i, j):
....: return i+j
....:
sage: matrix(QQ, 3, 3, f)
[0 1 2]
[1 2 3]
[2 3 4]
But if I am passing a *partial function*, this does not work any more:
sage: def f(i, j, x):
....: return (i + j) * x
....:
sage: import functools
sage: def f(i, j, x):
....: return (i + j) * x
....:
sage: g = functools.partial(f, x=7)
sage: g(0, 1)
7
sage: matrix(QQ, 3, 3, g)
Traceback (most recent call last):

How can I make this work?
