Find nearest value in numpy array

How do I find the nearest value in a numpy array? Example: np.find_nearest(array, value)
import numpy as np def find_nearest(array, value): array = np.asarray(array) idx = (np.abs(array - value)).argmin() return array[idx] Example usage: array = np.random.random(10) print(array) # [ 0.21069679 0.61290182 0.63425412 0.84635244 0.91599191 0.00213826 # 0.17104965 0.56874386 0.57319379 0.28719469] print(find_nearest(array, value=0.5)) # 0.568743859261
