Re: [Numpy-discussion] Method to shift elements in an array?

[Zachary P. <zp...@st...>]

Here is my eventual solution. I'm not sure it's speed-optimal for  
even a python implementation, but it is terse.

I agree that it might be nice to have this fast, and/or in C (I'm  
using it for finite difference and related things).

def cshift(l, offset):
   offset %= len(l)
   return numpy.concatenate((l[-offset:], l[:-offset]))
