element of a NumPy array. I seeked through the documentation and found the argmax/argmin functions. However, they must be called recursively to find the greatest(smallest) element of a multidimendional array. As I needed to
You could run it on Numeric.ravel(array) (which shouldn't make a copy), and then reconstruct the multidimensional indices from the single index into the flattened array. The additional overhead should be minimal, and you don't need any C code.
