[Numpy-discussion] building an array using smaller arrays

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

since noone has reacted to my last e-mail yet (for several days), I feel the
need to ask again (since I still do not know a good answer).
Please help me.

>> Hello everybody,

work

>> b = array( [[1, 2, 3, 1, 2],  [5 ,1 ,2 ,6 ,7], [0, 1, 0, 3, 4]] )

>> I know a rather complicated way but believe there must be an easy one.
>> Thank you very much.

>> Ruda

I would need some sort of flattening operator...
The solution I know is very ugly:

 b = array(( concatenate(([1, 2, 3], a)), concatenate(([5], a, [6, 7])),
concatenate(([0], 2-a, [3, 4])) ))

Isn't there something simpler?

Thank you for your advice!
Ruda
