I'm still not sure what you are trying to achieve.  If you post a minimal
contrived example of what you are trying to do instead of a clip from the
middle of your code it would be easier to figure out.

But have you explored r_[ ]  and c_[ ] ?   ('c' for column, 'r' for row)
These constructions are designed to aid concatenation:

>>> from scipy import *
>>> x=array([1,2])
>>> y=array([3,4])

>>> c_[x,y]
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

>>> c_[x[:,NewAxis],y[:,NewAxis]]
array([[1, 3],
       [2, 4]])

>>> r_[x[:,NewAxis],y[:,NewAxis]]
array([[1],
       [2],
       [3],
       [4]])
