[Numpy-discussion] Masking an array with another array

[Gökhan SEVER]

Yes Pierre,

I like this one line of elegances in Python a lot. I was thinking that the
answer lies in somewhere in masked array operations, but I proved wrong.

Thanks for your input on this small riddle.

Here is another way of doing that. (That's what I thought of initially and
what Matthias Michler responded on matplotlib mailing list.)

mask = zeros(len(a), dtype=bool)
for index in xrange(len(a)):        # run through array a
   if a[index] in b:
       mask[index] = True


Ending with a quote about Pythonicness :)

"...that something is Pythonic when it has a sense of quality,
simplicity, clarity and elegance about it."
