divmod is a builtin -- the rest are from Numeric.

  Subject: [Numpy-discussion] arg matrix max question


  I need to find the location of the maximum value in a two dimensional
Numeric array

  The best I have come up with uses a couple of calls to argmax and then
cross checking the results

  I know there must be a better way and that I am not the only one who needs
to do such a thing

  Anybody got a code snippet to share ?
