python - Flatten numpy array

Question

Is there a simple way in NumPy to flatten type object array?

I know .flatten() method flattens non-object type arrays constructed from same size arrays:

I1 a = np.array([[1],[2],[3]])

I2 a.flatten()
O2 array([1, 2, 3])

however, I can't get dtype=object array flattened:

I4 b
O4 array([[1], [2, 3], [3]], dtype=object)

I5 b.flatten()
O5 array([[1], [2, 3], [3]], dtype=object)

Thanks.

Answer 1

if you want [1,2,3,3], try this then

np.hstack(b)
