python boolean list index code example

Example 1: python index where true

>>> import numpy as np
>>> states = [False, False, False, False, True, True, False, True, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False]
>>> np.where(states)[0]
array([4, 5, 7])

Example 2: apply boolean to list

>>> from itertools import compress
>>> list_a = [1, 2, 4, 6]
>>> fil = [True, False, True, False]
>>> list(compress(list_a, fil))
[1, 4]
