Example 1: find first in np arrau
>>> t = array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 8, 3, 8, 8])
>>> nonzero(t == 8)
(array([6, 8, 9]),)
>>> nonzero(t == 8)[0][0]
6
Example 2: numpy indexing
>>> x = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9])
>>> x[1:7:2]
array([1, 3, 5])
Example 3: numpy find index of matching values
import numpy as np
# init arrays
a = np.array([1,2,3,2,3,4,3,4,5,6])
b = np.array([7,2,10,2,7,4,9,4,9,8])
#using enumerate, list comprehension and set
print([key for key, val in enumerate(a) if val in set(b)])
# output
# [1, 3, 5, 7]
