How to check the presence of a given numpy array in a larger-shape numpy array?

I guess the title of my question might not be very clear..



I have a small array, say a = ([[0,0,0],[0,0,1],[0,1,1]]). Then I have a bigger array of a higher dimension, say b = ([[[2,2,2],[2,0,1],[2,1,1]],[[0,0,0],[3,3,1],[3,1,1]],[...]]).



I'd like to check if one of the elements of a can be found in b. In this case, I'd find that the first element of a [0,0,0] is indeed in b, and then I'd like to retrieve the corresponding index in b.



I'd like to do that avoiding looping, since from the very little I understood from numpy arrays, they are not meant to be iterated over in a classic way. In other words, I need it to be very fast, because my actual arrays are quite big.



Any idea?
Thanks a lot!



Arnaud.
