in Matlab I do this:
>> E = [];
>> A = [1 2 3 4 5; 10 20 30 40 50];
>> E = [E ; A]
E =
1 2 3 4 5
10 20 30 4
In Python, if possible to work with the individual vectors, to append you should use list.append()
>>> E = []
>>> B = np.array([1,2,3,4,5])
>>> C = np.array([10,20,30,40,50])
>>> E = E.append(B)
>>> E = E.append(C)
[array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])]
and then after all append operations are done, return to np.array thusly
>>> E = np.array(E)
array([[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50]])
