It sounds like np.partition could be used to answer the question: give me the highest K elements in a vector.
Is this a correct interpretation? Something like partial sort, but returned elements are unsorted. I could really make some use of this, but in my case it is a list of objects I need to sort on a particular key. Is this algorithm available in general python code (not specific to numpy arrays)? -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
