No:
In [13]: rand(3).shape
Out[13]: (3,)
In [14]: rand(3,1).shape
Out[14]: (3, 1)
A "vector" is an array with only one dimension. Here, you have a 3x1
"matrix"...

So you've got the solution!

Don't understand what you cannot make work, here.
In [15]: x=rand(3,1)
In [18]: diag(x[:,0])
Out[18]:
array([[ 0.2287158 , 0. , 0. ],
[ 0. , 0.50571537, 0. ],
[ 0. , 0. , 0.72304857]])
