initialize a numpy array

numpy.zeros

Return a new array of given shape and type, filled with zeros.

or

numpy.ones

Return a new array of given shape and type, filled with ones.

or

numpy.empty

Return a new array of given shape and type, without initializing entries.

However, the mentality in which we construct an array by appending elements to a list is not much used in numpy, because it’s less efficient (numpy datatypes are much closer to the underlying C arrays). Instead, you should preallocate the array to the size that you need it to be, and then fill in the rows. You can use numpy.append if you must, though.
