[Numpy-discussion] howto exclude elements from sorted array which are present in other sorted array

[dmitrey]

hi all,
I have 2 sorted arrays arr1 & arr2 (ascending order, for example 
[1,2,5,8] and [3,5], but length may be thousands, so I need simpliest 
way, not costly).
Howto obtain arr3 that consists of elements present in arr1 but absent 
in arr2?
Of course, I can write something by myself, like
arr3 = [x for x in arr1 if not x in arr2]
but maybe already written routines are present in numpy? (that use sort)

Usually arr2 is much more small than arr1, typical former size is 10-20 
and typical latter size can be 1000-10000

Thank you in advance, D.
