How do I transform a Boolean array into an iterable of indexes?
E.g.,
import numpy as np
import itertools as it
x = np.array([1,0,1,1,0,0])
y = x > 0
retval = [i for i, y_i in enumerate(y) if y_i]
Is there a nicer way?

Try np.where or np.nonzero.
x = np.array([1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0])
np.where(x)[0] # returns a tuple hence the [0], see help(np.where)
# array([0, 2, 3])
x.nonzero()[0] # in this case, the same as above.
See help(np.where) and help(np.nonzero).
Possibly worth noting that in the np.where page it mentions that for 1D x it's basically equivalent to your longform in the question.

I knew there was a better way! I looked at "np.index*", but didn't find anything.
