Long list to numeric multi-D array

[Stephen Boulet]

I have a long list of floats (1613808 elements long). It takes quite a 
while to load this into a 7 dimensional Numeric array.

Is there any obvious way to speed this up?

def insertData(self,data):

     # Start off with an array of the desired size
     # "self.MEASURED", etc., are integers
     arrayData = zeros([self.MEASURED, self.SWEPT, \
       self.TEMPS,self.DCS, self.IVS, self.UUTS,   \
       self.DUTS], Float64)

     i = 0

     for device in range(self.DUTS):
         for unit in range(self.UUTS):
             for iv in range(self.IVS):
                 for dc in range(self.DCS):
                     for temp in range(self.TEMPS):
                         for swept in range(self.SWEPT):
                             for measured in range(self.MEASURED):
 
arrayData[measured][swept][temp][dc][iv][unit][device] = bigList[i]
                                 i += 1
     return arrayData
