The Kronecker product  applied to A,B is

kron(A,B) = array([[11,12,22,24],
                                      [13,14,26,28],
                                      [33,36,44,48],
                                      [39,42,52,56]])


How can I rearrange the result of outerproduct to the result of
Kronecker product with numpy ?

Cheers,
