[Numpy-discussion] How to find indices of values in an array (indirect in1d) ?

[Benjamin Root]

Maybe use searchsorted()? I will note that I have needed to do something
like this once before, and I found that the list comprehension form of
calling .index() for each item was faster than jumping through hoops to
vectorize it using searchsorted (needing to sort and then map the sorted
indices to the original indices), and was certainly clearer, but that might
depend upon the problem size.

Cheers!
