That approach avoids the bin-index calculation line: indices = numpy.clip(((array.astype(float) - min) * bins / (max - min)).astype(int), 0, bins-1) But even if indices = array, one still needs to do something like: for index in indices: histogram[index] += 1 Which is slow in python and fast in C. I'm guessing that there's no utility function in numpy that does a loop like this? If so, that would be handy, but if now, I think I need to dig out the numpy book and write a little extension...
