You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list. If you don't 
mention that you are using numpy here, people get confused.

Anyways, if your array is sorted, use a.searchsorted(15). If it isn't sorted, 
then you can find all of the indices equal to the value with the following:

   In [7]: from numpy import *

   In [8]: a = array([13,14,15,16])

   In [9]: nonzero(a == 15)[0]
   Out[9]: array([2])
