around the web and some forums I came across the scipy function
argrelextrema, which seemed to do just what I wanted. The problem is that I
can't get the function to work, probably because scipy in python3 does not
yet support the argrelextrema function. I can however, not find a reference
to this really being the problem, and was wondering if someone here could
maybe help me out.

The docs would seem to indicate that that function resides in the "signal"
submodule of scipy:
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-dev/reference/generated/scipy.signal.argrelmax.html#scipy.signal.argrelmax

Hence, it would be sp.signal.argrelmax() as opposed to just sp.argrelmax()
