[python] Iterating over a numpy array

Is there a less verbose alternative to this:

for x in xrange(array.shape[0]):
    for y in xrange(array.shape[1]):
        do_stuff(x, y)

I came up with this:

for x, y in itertools.product(map(xrange, array.shape)):
    do_stuff(x, y)

Which saves one indentation, but is still pretty ugly.

I'm hoping for something that looks like this pseudocode:

for x, y in array.indices:
    do_stuff(x, y)

Does anything like that exist?

I see that no good desciption for using numpy.nditer() is here. So, I am gonna go with one. According to NumPy v1.21 dev0 manual, The iterator object nditer, introduced in NumPy 1.6, provides many flexible ways to visit all the elements of one or more arrays in a systematic fashion.

I have to calculate mean_squared_error and I have already calculate y_predicted and I have y_actual from the boston dataset, available with sklearn.

def cal_mse(y_actual, y_predicted):
    """ this function will return mean squared error
       args:
           y_actual (ndarray): np array containing target variable
           y_predicted (ndarray): np array containing predictions from DecisionTreeRegressor
       returns:
           mse (integer)
    """
    sq_error = 0
    for i in np.nditer(np.arange(y_pred.shape[0])):
        sq_error += (y_actual[i] - y_predicted[i])**2
    mse = 1/y_actual.shape[0] * sq_error
    
    return mse

Hope this helps :). for further explaination visit

see nditer

import numpy as np
Y = np.array([3,4,5,6])
for y in np.nditer(Y, op_flags=['readwrite']):
    y += 3

Y == np.array([6, 7, 8, 9])

y = 3 would not work, use y *= 0 and y += 3 instead.

If you only need the indices, you could try numpy.ndindex:

>>> a = numpy.arange(9).reshape(3, 3)
>>> [(x, y) for x, y in numpy.ndindex(a.shape)]
[(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)]
