[Numpy-discussion] indexing question

Hi, Suppose an array of shape (N,2,2), that is N arrays of shape (2,2). I want to select an element (x,y) from each one of the subarrays, so I get a 1-dimensional array of length N. For instance: In [228]: t=np.arange(8).reshape(2,2,2) In [229]: t Out[229]: array([[[0, 1], [2, 3]], [[4, 5], [6, 7]]]) In [230]: x=[0,1] In [231]: y=[1,1] In [232]: t[[0,1],x,y] Out[232]: array([1, 7]) This way, I get the elements (0,1) and (1,1) which is what I wanted. The question is: is it possible to omit the [0,1] in the index? Thanks in advance. -- Ernest
