With numpy you can use slicing. Create a 4D array with pointless data in it: >>> import numpy >>> a = numpy.arange(2*3*4*5).reshape((2, 3, 4, 5)) >>> a array([[[[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4], [ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], [ 10, 11, 12, 13, 14], [ 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]], [[ 20, 21, 22, 23, 24], [ 25, 26, 27, 28, 29], [ 30, 31, 32, 33, 34], [ 35, 36, 37, 38, 39]], [[ 40, 41, 42, 43, 44], [ 45, 46, 47, 48, 49], [ 50, 51, 52, 53, 54], [ 55, 56, 57, 58, 59]]], [[[ 60, 61, 62, 63, 64], [ 65, 66, 67, 68, 69], [ 70, 71, 72, 73, 74], [ 75, 76, 77, 78, 79]], [[ 80, 81, 82, 83, 84], [ 85, 86, 87, 88, 89], [ 90, 91, 92, 93, 94], [ 95, 96, 97, 98, 99]], [[100, 101, 102, 103, 104], [105, 106, 107, 108, 109], [110, 111, 112, 113, 114], [115, 116, 117, 118, 119]]]]) Extract 2D arrays: >>> a[:,2,3] array([[ 55, 56, 57, 58, 59], [115, 116, 117, 118, 119]]) >>> a[1,:,2] array([[ 70, 71, 72, 73, 74], [ 90, 91, 92, 93, 94], [110, 111, 112, 113, 114]]) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
