The function you want is also in the open source astronomy package
iccpy ( https://github.com/Lowingbn/iccpy ), which essentially does a
variant of Sebastian’s code (which I also couldn’t quite get working),
and handles a few things like old numpy versions (pre 1.4) and allows
you to specify if B is already sorted.

>>> from iccpy.utils import match
>>> print match(A,B)
[ 1  2  0 -1]
