title: Storing Each Iteration of Array after Loop Completion
body: <p>I'm very new to Python. I've searched extensively for a solution to my problem, but I'm hitting dead ends left and right.</p>
  
  <p>I've produced a series of arrays using following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fh = open(short_seq, 'r')
  line_counter = 0
  pos = [0]
  array = [0.0 for x in range(101)]
  for line in fh:
      line_counter += 1.0   
      for i in line:
          score = ord(i) - 33.0
          array[pos] += score
          pos += 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After printing inside the loop I get a large series of arrays.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[1,2,3,4.....]
  [2,3,4,5,6.....]
  [3,4,5,6,7,8.....100]
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to use NumPy to run stats on each column, in the specific alignment that they are printed out in, but once I'm outside of the loop I can only call the sum of entire loop. I tried np.concatenate, but that still left me with the sum of the arrays. If I use NumPy in the loop then I can only run stats on each column, one iteration at a time, rather than the whole series. My next idea was to ad each iteration into a two-dimensional matrix, but I couldn't figure how to keep the alignment.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Here is a sample of my data (each of the four strings are right underneath on another in a text editor). I'm trying to convert a few thousand lines of ascii to numerical values. Each line has to be in an array 100 characters long, and then I need to run stats on each column. </p>
