[Numpy-discussion] index partition

2014-04-12 Thread Alan G Isaac
From a 1d array, I want two arrays of indexes: the first for elements that satisfy a criterion, and the second for elements that do not. Naturally there are many ways to do this. Is there a preferred way? As a simple example, suppose for array `a` I want np.flatnonzero(a>0) and np.flatnonzero(a
