Iterating through a multidimensional array in Python
It's clear you're using numpy. With numpy you can just do:
for cell in self.cells.flat: do_somethin(cell)
If you need to change the values of the individual cells then ndenumerate (in numpy) is your friend. Even if you don't it probably still is!
for index,value in ndenumerate( self.cells ): do_something( value ) self.cells[index] = new_value
Just iterate over one dimension, then the other.
for row in self.cells: for cell in row: do_something(cell)Of course, with only two dimensions, you can compress this down to a single loop using a list comprehension or generator expression, but that's not very scalable or readable:
for cell in (cell for row in self.cells for cell in row): do_something(cell)If you need to scale this to multiple dimensions and really want a flat list, you can write a flatten function.
