[Numpy-discussion] stacking scalars with column vector

[Santhosh R]

Hi ,

I am trying to learn python to convert some of my mlab codes to python.Am
new to python.Some help here would be appreciated

I am trying to make a column vector by stacking two scalars-->Xstart,Xend
and second column of n X 2 2Darray-->A

In matlab the code is b=[Xstart;A(:,1);Xend]

I have made the following code

import numpy as np
x=np.array([[Xstart]])
arr_temp=np.array([A[:,0]])
x=np.vstack((x,arr_temp.T))
x=np.vstack((x,[[Xend]]))

This works, but is there a more elegant way of doing this.
Also if i define arr_temp as   arr_temp=A[:,0], the array arr_temp which is
supposed to be of shape (n,1) shows as (n,) .Why is this


Thanks

Santhosh
