Calm down. Stop shouting. It is not evident whether the above means
that diff_temp_Stumpf was an error (should have been merely diff_temp)
or not.

I think that you mean that diff_temp will be an array of the numberS
(plural) of the lines (rows?) in values array that met the -2 < x < 2
criterion. Now you want to be able to use diff_temp to get the
corresponding subset of some other array. Am I getting close?

Now you want to be able to use diff_temp to get the corresponding
subset of some other array. Am I getting close?

Perhaps you need something like other_array.take(diff_temp) ?

Not very, I don't grok matlab.

By the way, shouldn't you be using numpy? I thought numarray was going
away by mid-2008 i.e. now.
