It's not entirely clear what you mean from the description above. In the code example, you return a single index, but from the description it sounds like you want to pick out a vector? If you need multiple answers, one for each element, then you probably need to do broadcasting as shown in the NumPy medkit: http://mentat.za.net/numpy/numpy_advanced_slides/ Stéfan _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
