Using numpy to build an array of all combinations of two arrays

Question

I\'m trying to run over the parameters space of a 6 parameter function to study it\'s numerical behavior before trying to do anything complex with it so I\'m searching for a

Answer 1

You can do something like this

import numpy as np

def cartesian_coord(*arrays):
    grid = np.meshgrid(*arrays)        
    coord_list = [entry.ravel() for entry in grid]
    points = np.vstack(coord_list).T
    return points

a = np.arange(4)  # fake data
print(cartesian_coord(*6*[a])

which gives

array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
   [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1],
   [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2],
   ..., 
   [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1],
   [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2],
   [3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3]])
