[Numpy-discussion] extracting values from an array

[Eric Emsellem]

looks ok, except that I don't want to sort out the output but keep the
right order depending on x0 and x1, so I have then to add the order I
wish for the output array, maybe with something like:

## init
x0 = -0.55
x1 = -0.1
min,max,step = 0., -1., -0.1
x=num.arange(min,max,step);

## getting the right output
xs=sort(array([x0,x1]))
x[(x >= xs[0]) & (x<=xs[1])][::num.sign(x1-x0)*num.sign(step)]

should work. I don't see a simpler way here...

thanks to get me on track!!!
