Python: How do I fill an array with a range of numbers?

Question

So I have an array of 100 elements:

a = np.empty(100)

How do I fill it with a range of numbers? I want something like this:

b = a.fill(np.arange(1, 4, 0.25))

So I want it to keep filling a with that values of that range on and on until it reaches the size of it

Thanks

Answer 1

updating solution to fit description

a = np.empty(100)
filler = np.arange(1,4,0.25)
index = np.arange(a.size)
np.put(a,index,filler)

Answer 2

Such a simple feat can be achieved in plain python, too

>>> size = 100
>>> b = [v/4 for v in range(4,16)]
>>> a = (b * (size // len(b) + 1))[:size]
>>> a
[1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 
 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75]

with these exact conditions it's about 3 times faster than numpy.
