Without understanding anything, this seems to work:

johan at johan-laptop:~$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 18 2009, 03:00:47)

 >>> import numpy as np
 >>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3])
 >>> b = np.zeros((5, 3))
 >>> b[:, :] = a
 >>> b
array([[ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 1.,  2.,  3.],
        [ 1.,  2.,  3.]])





Hope it helps
