Find indices of elements equal to zero in a NumPy array

numpy.where() is my favorite.

>>> x = numpy.array([1,0,2,0,3,0,4,5,6,7,8])
>>> numpy.where(x == 0)[0]
array([1, 3, 5])

The method where returns a tuple of ndarrays, each corresponding to a different dimension of the input. Since the input is one-dimensional, the [0] unboxes the tuple’s only element.
