>>> M = np.ones((10,3))
>>> N = np.arange(10)
>>> N.shape
(10,)
>>> (N[:,np.newaxis]).shape
(10, 1)
>>> M*N[:,np.newaxis]
array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 1.,  1.,  1.],
       [ 2.,  2.,  2.],
       [ 3.,  3.,  3.],
       [ 4.,  4.,  4.],
       [ 5.,  5.,  5.],
       [ 6.,  6.,  6.],
       [ 7.,  7.,  7.],
       [ 8.,  8.,  8.],
       [ 9.,  9.,  9.]])

>>> M *= N[:,np.newaxis]
>>> M
