[Python.NET] converting double array to numpy list

[Jeffrey Bush]

Numpy arrays are almost always created in Python and there are dozens of
methods. That post you link to has the best solution for this case:

import numpy as np
dest = np.empty(len(src))

That creates a new numpy array of the same length of src with
undefined ("empty") values at every index. You could substitute len(src)
for whatever length you want (or a tuple if you want something not 1D). We
use empty since we are about to set every value to something so we don't
care that they have undefined values at that point.

Overall I don't understand your problem, can you be more clear? I don't
know if you are trying to do the copy in Python or C#, I am guessing you
are copying from C# array to a new Python NumPy array, which is exactly
what that post did (in Python).
