if temp is a (n,) array, you can add a new dimension to give it shape 
(n,1) or (1,n) :
>>> temp = rand(9)
>>> temp.shape
(9,)
>>> temp[NewAxis,:].shape
(1, 9)
>>> temp[:,NewAxis].shape
(9, 1)

Or you can reduce your (n,1) array to a 1-dimensional array:

>>> temp2.shape
(10, 1)
>>> squeeze(temp2).shape
(10,)
