now you can still use column access
previously...
mat[2] = 1, 2, 3
needed to be converted into...
mat[0][2] = 1
mat[1][2] = 2
mat[2][2] = 3
but with column access you can do...
mat.col[2] = 1, 2, 3
Having 'row' attribute is a bit redundant since direct indexing on a matrix uses row but included for completeness.
this is a part of patch 29534, being applied separately

* Text from the submission *
This patch adds the ability to use arbitrary sized vectors from mathutils.
Currently vectors are only of size 2, 3 or 4 since they are generally restricted
to geometric applications. However, we can use arbitrary sized vectors for
efficient calculations and data manipulation.

Tracker description
*******************
The current python noise module included with Blender has yet to be updated to the new Py API. This patch does so, with the following major points:
- The noise module has now been moved to a submodule of mathutils, it can be accessed by mathutils.noise. It was moved from it's own module as it will now return mathutils types and also have greater visibility to the user.
- All functions which return vectors will now return mathutils.Vector types to be consistent with the rest of the API. Previously (x, y, z) tuples were returned.
- A different implementation of random_unit_vector is now used, this allows 2D, 3D and 4D vectors to be returned. Previously only 3D was possible.
- Some function names have been changed to remove ambiguities and make naming consistent within the module. noise.vector is now noise.noise_vector and noise.vl_vector is now noise.variable_lacunarity
- Doc strings have been updated to be compatible with auto docs.
- Code style and internal naming has been changed to match the conventions in other mathutils code.
Thanks,
Andrew
