numarray supports matlab style indexing if you pass the ind as an
array or list of indices (but not a tuple, I found to my surprise).
As pointed out already, for Numeric you need to use the take function
>>> from numarray import array
>>> x = array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])
>>> ind = [3,5,7]
>>> inda = array(ind)
>>> indt = tuple(ind)
>>> x[ind]
array([4, 6, 8])
>>> x[inda]
array([4, 6, 8])
>>> x[indt]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
IndexError: too many indices.
I'm sure the tuple "surprise" is a documented feature.
