Try searchsorted.
Thanks, but that doesn't work. Sorry, if my question wasn't clear.
To illustrate the requirement: For instance:
a
array([ 0. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4])
# should be 1
...
a.searchsorted(0.11)
2
# should be 2
...
a.searchsorted(0.16)
2
I could correct for one index position, of course, but I still have the requirement to get the index of the item with the closest value to the key. Since searchsorted returns the index of the first item in a that is >= or > the key, it can't make the distinction between 0.1 and 0.2 as I would like to have.
Hope this clarifies my question. Christian
