Comment (by vbraun):

 To parse a string-matrix I think we should just match numbers and strip
 everything else out, as in
 {{{
 sage: number = re.compile('[-+]?[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?')
 sage: [ match.group() for match in number.finditer('[ 1e3, 0 | 3 6, 1.3
 .123)') ]
 ['1e3', '0', '3', '6', '1.3', '.123']
 }}}
 Then put the numbers from each line into the rows of a matrix. This should
 grok all ascii-art matrix representations.

 If the input string is already valid Python, say, then the user can just
 eval it directly. So we shouldn't worry too much about that case.

 +1 to use `matrix.load()` to load the matrix.
