[Numpy-discussion] index of a value in an array

[Jonathan Rocher]

Chris,

Note that
>>> where(condition)
actually returns a tuple (one item for each dimension of a) and each element
is an array with the index of when your condition occurs.
Therefore if you want to extract the index itself, you need to write
idx = where(a==1)[0][0] for the first element, and where(a==1)[0] for the
array of all indices.

Best,
Jonathan
