I have a little 'ascol()' function I use for that kind of situation.
In your case I'd say
I * ascol(ones(2))
---------------------
def ascol(v):
"""Turns 1-d inputs into a column vectors.
For all other inputs acts like atleast_2d.
(Q: Should this also transpose any (1xN)'s to be columns? The
current thinking is if you have a 1-d then you haven't really
decided whether it's a row or col, and this method is asserting
that it should be a column. But if it's already a 2-d row, then
it's probably a row for a reason, and you should transpose it
explicitly if you want a column.)
"""
arr = numpy.array(v,copy=False,subok=True)
if arr.ndim<2:
return numpy.transpose(numpy.atleast_2d(arr))
else:
return arr
