Thanks for all the answers. In that particular case speed is not important (A is 360x720 and b and c is lower than 10 in terms of dimension). However, I stumbled across similar comparison problems in IDL a couple of times where speed was crucial.

My own solution or attempt was this:

==
def fu(A, b, c):
    for x, y in zip(b,c):
        indx = np.where(A == x)
        A[indx] = y
    return A
==
