Python equivalent of which() in R

Question

I am trying to take the following R statement and convert it to Python using NumPy:

1 + apply(tmp,1,function(x) length(which(x[1:k] < x[k+1])))


        

Answer 1

The Python code below answers my question:

np.array([1 + np.sum(row[range(k)] < row[k]) for row in tmp])

Here tmp is a 2d array, and k is a variable which was set for column comparison.

Answer 2

From http://effbot.org/zone/python-list.htm:

To get the index for all matching items, you can use a loop, and pass in a start index:

i = -1
try:
    while 1:
        i = L.index(value, i+1)
        print "match at", i
except ValueError:
    pass

Answer 3

    >>> which = lambda lst:list(np.where(lst)[0])

    Example:
    >>> lst = map(lambda x:x<5, range(10))
    >>> lst
    [True, True, True, True, True, False, False, False, False, False]
    >>> which(lst)
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
