Here is a way a little closer to Matlab's method: First
make all the vectors column vectors

v1=np.array([(1,2,3)]).T
v2=np.array([(4,5,6)]).T
v3=np.array([(7,8,9)]).T
v4=np.array([(10,11,12)]).T

mat =np.hstack(( np.vstack((v1,v3)), np.vstack((v2,v4))) )

Out[236]:
array([[ 1,  4],
        [ 2,  5],
        [ 3,  6],
        [ 7, 10],
        [ 8, 11],
        [ 9, 12]])

There are way too many '(([[]]))' things  in Python :)
