It looks to me that you just have to replace the 9 and the 3 with your
2d array size and shape, for example
>>> a = np.arange(12).reshape(3,4)
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3],
[ 4, 5, 6, 7],
[ 8, 9, 10, 11]])
>>> np.column_stack((np.arange(a.size)//a.shape[1],
>>> np.arange(a.size)%a.shape[1], a.ravel()))
array([[ 0, 0, 0],
[ 0, 1, 1],
[ 0, 2, 2],
[ 0, 3, 3],
[ 1, 0, 4],
[ 1, 1, 5],
[ 1, 2, 6],
[ 1, 3, 7],
[ 2, 0, 8],
[ 2, 1, 9],
[ 2, 2, 10],
[ 2, 3, 11]])
Or do I misunderstand the question?
