Index a numpy array with another array

Question

I feel silly, because this is such a simple thing, but I haven\'t found the answer either here or anywhere else.

Is there no straightforward way of indexing a numpy

Answer 1

Just use a tuple:

>>> A[(3, 1)]
8
>>> A[tuple(ind)]
8

The A[] actually calls the special method __getitem__:

>>> A.__getitem__((3, 1))
8

and using a comma creates a tuple:

>>> 3, 1
(3, 1)

Putting these two basic Python principles together solves your problem.

You can store your index in a tuple in the first place, if you don't need NumPy array features for it.
