how to duplicate each row of a matrix N times Numpy

Question

I have a matrix with these dimensions (150,2) and I want to duplicate each row N times. I show what I mean with an example.

Input:

a = [[2, 3], [5, 6], [7, 9]]

suppose N= 3, I want this output:

[[2 3]
 [2 3]
 [2 3]
 [5 6]
 [5 6]
 [5 6]
 [7 9]
 [7 9]
 [7 9]]

Thank you.

Use np.repeat with parameter axis=0 as:

a = np.array([[2, 3],[5, 6],[7, 9]])

print(a)
[[2 3]
 [5 6]
 [7 9]]

r_a = np.repeat(a, repeats=3, axis=0)

print(r_a)
[[2 3]
 [2 3]
 [2 3]
 [5 6]
 [5 6]
 [5 6]
 [7 9]
 [7 9]
 [7 9]]
