Is this the best way to add an extra dimension to a numpy array in one line of code?

arrays, numpy, python, python-3.x, reshape

Solution

It's easier like this:

k.reshape(k.shape + (1,))

But if all you want is to add an empty dimension at the end, you should use `numpy.newaxis`:

import numpy as np
k = k[..., np.newaxis]

or

k = k[..., None]

(See the documentation on slicing).

Problem

If k is an numpy array of an arbitrary shape, so `k.shape = (s1, s2, s3, ..., sn)`, and I want to reshape it so that `k.shape` becomes `(s1, s2, ..., sn, 1)`, is this the best way to do it in one line? ``` k.reshape(*(list(k.shape) + [1]) ```
