title: numpy array creating with a sequence
body: <p>I am on my transitional trip from MATLAB to scipy(+numpy)+matplotlib. I keep having issues when implementing some things.
  I want to create a simple vector array in three different parts. In MATLAB I would do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>vector=[0.2,1:60,60.8];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This results in a one dimensional array of 62 positions. I'm trying to implement this using scipy. The closest I am right now is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a=[[0.2],linspace(1,60,60),[60.8]]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However this creates a list, not an array, and hence I cannot reshape it to a vector array. But then, when I do this, I get an error</p>
  
  <pre><code>a=array([[0.2],linspace(1,60,60),[60.8]])
  ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I believe my main obstacle is that I can't figure out how to translate this simple operation in MATLAB:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a=[1:2:20];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to numpy. I know how to do it to access positions in an array, although not when creating a sequence.
  Any help will be appreciated, 
  thanks!</p>
