Numpy: Filtering rows by multiple conditions?

I have a two-dimensional numpy array called meta with 3 columns.. what I want to do is :

  1. check if the first two columns are ZERO
  2. check if the third column is smaller than X
  3. Return only those rows that match the condition

I made it work, but the solution seem very contrived :

meta[ np.logical_and( np.all( meta[:,0:2] == [0,0],axis=1 ) , meta[:,2] < 20) ]

Could you think of cleaner way ? It seem hard to have multiple conditions at once ;(

thanks


Sorry first time I copied the wrong expression... corrected.

How about this -

meta[meta[:,2]<X * np.all(meta[:,0:2]==0,1),:]

Sample run -

In [89]: meta
Out[89]: 
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4],
       [ 0,  0,  2,  0],
       [ 9,  0, 11, 12]])

In [90]: X
Out[90]: 4

In [91]: meta[meta[:,2]<X * np.all(meta[:,0:2]==0,1),:]
Out[91]: array([[0, 0, 2, 0]])

you can use multiple filters in a slice, something like this:

x = np.arange(90.).reshape(30, 3)
#set the first 10 rows of cols 1,2 to be zero
x[0:10, 0:2] = 0.0
x[(x[:,0] == 0.) & (x[:,1] == 0.) & (x[:,2] > 10)]
#should give only a few rows
array([[  0.,   0.,  11.],
       [  0.,   0.,  14.],
       [  0.,   0.,  17.],
       [  0.,   0.,  20.],
       [  0.,   0.,  23.],
       [  0.,   0.,  26.],
       [  0.,   0.,  29.]])
