[Numpy-discussion] idiom for deleting array elements

[Martin Wiechert]

Hi list,

I'm looking for an idiom to delete a sparse subset S (given as integer indices 
into A) of elements from a 1d array A.

Something like

del L [I]

if L is a list and I is a non-fancy index.

My best idea is

B = ones (A.shape, bool)
B [S] = False
A = A [B]

Is there a better idiom (briefer, not requiring temporary boolean array)?

Thanks,
Martin
