Python: Differentiating between row and column vectors

Question

Is there a good way of differentiating between row and column vectors in python? So far I\'m using numpy and scipy and what I see so far is that If I was to give one a vecto

Answer 1

Here's another intuitive way. Suppose we have:

>>> a = np.array([1, 3, 4])
>>> a
array([1, 3, 4])

First we make a 2D array with that as the only row:

>>> a = np.array([a])
>>> a
array([[1, 3, 4]])

Then we can transpose it:

>>> a.T
array([[1],
       [3],
       [4]])
