Filter integers in numpy float array

Is there any built in function to discard integer and keep only float number in numpy.

import numpy as np

input = np.array([0.0, 0.01, 1.0, 2.0, 2.001, 2.002])

desired_ouput = some_function(input)
# Expected ouput
# desired_output = np.array([0.01, 2.001, 2.002])

I had a similar question a while back: Numpy: Check if float array contains whole numbers. The simplest way to mask fractions that I am currently aware of is

mask = ((input % 1) != 0)

You can then apply the mask directly with

output = input[mask]

It bothered me that there is no built-in function to determine the integerness of a float quickly, so I wrote a fast ufunc that provides the functionality of float.is_integer for numpy. You can download from github and compile if you're interested:

from is_integer_ufunc import is_integer

output = input[~is_integer(input)]

I'll see if the numpy community wants to consider adding something like that to the core library. The question seems to come up often enough to justify it.

If you do not have to much data (short list), maybe do not need numpy:

>>> i = [0.0, 0.01, 1.0, 2.0, 2.001, 2.002]
>>> a=[j for j in i if not j.is_integer()]
>>> a
['0.01', '2.001', '2.002']

I've always used np.equal with np.mod:

>>> A[~np.equal(np.mod(A, 1), 0)]
array([0.01 , 2.001, 2.002])

I don't know any builtin for this but you can filter those floats using: 

filter(lambda x: int(str(x).split('.')[1]) != 0, input)

The lambda expression here checks if the decimal places are zero which I interpret as the number being an int.

Mask with whether each element is equal to it as an integer.

arr = np.array([0.0, 0.01, 1.0, 2.0, 2.001, 2.002])
out = arr[arr != arr.astype(int)]
#np.array([0.01, 2.001, 2.002])

I don't think so. My approach would be

import numpy as np
a = np.array([0.0, 0.01, 1.0, 2.0, 2.001, 2.002])
mask = np.isclose(a, a.astype(int))

print(a[~mask])
#[ 0.01   2.001  2.002]

I know of no in-built function. But you can create one yourself:

import numpy as np

A = np.array([0.0, 0.01, 1.0, 2.0, 2.001, 2.002])

def remove_ints(arr):
    return arr[~(arr == arr.astype(int))]

res = remove_ints(A)

array([ 0.01 ,  2.001,  2.002])

Aside, you should not use a built-in class such as input as a variable name.
