[Numpy-discussion] Array2 subset of array1

[Eelco Hoogendoorn]

ah yes, that may indeed be what you want. depending on your datatype, you
could access the underlying raw data as a string.

b.tostring() in a.tostring() sort of works; but isn't entirely safe, as you
may have false positive matches which arnt aligned to your datatype
using str.find in combination with dtype.itemsize could solve that problem;
though it isn't the most elegant solution id say. also note that you need
to check for identical datatypes and memory layout for this to guarantee
correct results.
