[SciPy-user] Adding new columns to 2D array & populating them from another array.

[Ivo Maljevic]

The simplest thing is to use c_[ ] operator.

Example:
>>> a=ones([2,2])
>>> a
array([[ 1.,  1.],
       [ 1.,  1.]])
>>> b=array([4,4])
>>> c=array([9,9])
>>> d=c_[a,b,c]
>>> d
array([[ 1.,  1.,  4.,  9.],
       [ 1.,  1.,  4.,  9.]])

Hope this helps,
Ivo
