Unwanted extra dimensions in NumPy array

Question

I\'ve opened a .fits image:

scaled_flat1 = pyfits.open(\'scaled_flat1.fit\')   
scaled_flat1a = scaled_flat1[0].data

and when I print its s

Answer 1

I'm assuming scaled_flat1a is a numpy array? In that case, it should be as simple as a reshape command.

import numpy as np

a = np.array([[[[1, 2, 3],
                [4, 6, 7]]]])
print(a.shape)
# (1, 1, 2, 3)

a = a.reshape(a.shape[2:])  # You can also use np.reshape()
print(a.shape)
# (2, 3)
