You can avoid the allocation with preallocation:
nx = len(x) // 2
ny = len(y) // 2
zz = np.zeros((len(y), len(x)))
zz[:ny,-nx:] = np.hypot.outer(y[:ny], x[:nx])
zz[:ny, :nx] = zz[:ny,:-nx-1:-1]
zz[-ny:, :] = zz[ny::-1, :]
if nx * 2 != len(x):
zz[:ny, nx] = y[::-1]
zz[-ny:, nx] = y
if ny * 2 != len(y):
zz[ny, :nx] = x[::-1]
zz[ny, -nx:] = x
All of the steps after the call to `hypot.outer` create views. This is
untested, so you may need to tweak the indices a little.
