Use np.where to get the indices where a given condition is True.
Examples:
For a 2D np.ndarray called a:
i, j = np.where(a == value) # when comparing arrays of integers
i, j = np.where(np.isclose(a, value)) # when comparing floating-point arrays
For a 1D array:
i, = np.where(a == value) # integers
i, = np.where(np.isclose(a, value)) # floating-point
Note that this also works for conditions like >=, <=, != and so forth...
You can also create a subclass of np.ndarray with an index() method:
class myarray(np.ndarray):
def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
return np.array(*args, **kwargs).view(myarray)
def index(self, value):
return np.where(self == value)
Testing:
a = myarray([1,2,3,4,4,4,5,6,4,4,4])
a.index(4)
#(array([ 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10]),)
