You might try something like below (untested code, just meant as
pointing in the right direction):

self.resize(len(self) + len(v1), refcheck=False)
self[len(self):] = v1

Setting refcheck=False is potentially dangerous since it means other
references to the object might get corrupted.  You should play with
this option, but the alternative is that if there are *any* references
to the object then the append will fail.
