[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] max_element array method

[James Hugunin]

Try argmax and argmin.  (And since I had similar problems as  
Konrad, the next release will add argsort).

ie.

>>> argmax([1,2,3,4,3,2,1])
(4, 3)

This will only return the index of the first maxima in the list  
(which is usually what I want anyway).  This will work on  
arbitrarily high dimensional arrays, always acting along the last  
axis.
