In [1]: from numpy import *

In [2]: A = array([[0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
   ...:            [0.5, 0.0, 0.5],
   ...:            [1.0, 0.5, 0.0]])

In [3]: B = repeat(A, [1,2,1])

In [4]: B
Out[4]:
array([[ 0. ,  0.5,  1. ],
       [ 0.5,  0. ,  0.5],
       [ 0.5,  0. ,  0.5],
       [ 1. ,  0.5,  0. ]])

In [5]: C = repeat(B, [1,2,1], axis=-1)

In [6]: C
Out[6]:
array([[ 0. ,  0.5,  0.5,  1. ],
       [ 0.5,  0. ,  0. ,  0.5],
       [ 0.5,  0. ,  0. ,  0.5],
       [ 1. ,  0.5,  0.5,  0. ]])
