The import method doesn't support sparse representations:
"
This function should be able to read most arff files. Not implemented
functionality include:
date type attributes
string type attributes
It can read files with numeric and nominal attributes. It cannot read files
with sparse data ({} in the file). However, this function can read files
with missing data (? in the file), representing the data points as NaNs.
"
I think we want to tackle that final mile. Maybe this is better as a commit
to scipy?
