Indexing one-dimensional numpy.array as matrix
- by Alain
I am trying to index a numpy.array with varying dimensions during runtime. To retrieve e.g. the first row of a n*m array a, you can simply do
a[0,:]
However, in case a happens to be a 1xn vector, this code above returns an index error:
IndexError: too many indices
As the code needs to be executed as efficiently as possible I don't want to introduce an if statement. Does anybody have a convenient solution that ideally doesn't involve changing any data structure types?
