Iterating over the last dimensions of a numpy array





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







0















Consider the following snippet:



a = np.ones((2,2,2,2,2))
for example in a:
for row in example:
for col in row:
for box in col:
print (box.shape)


Having so many nested fors makes for some very ugly code.



How can I get the same effect with only one explicit iteration?

          Reshape your array:



          for box in a.reshape(16,2):
          print(box.shape)




          A general solution:



          for box in a.reshape(np.prod(a.shape[:-1]), a.shape[-1]):
          print(box.shape)


          which will always iterate over one-before-the-last dimension of a.
