[python] How to flatten only some dimensions of a numpy array

Is there a quick way to "sub-flatten" or flatten only some of the first dimensions in a numpy array?

For example, given a numpy array of dimensions (50,100,25), the resultant dimensions would be (5000,25)

A slight generalization to Alexander's answer - np.reshape can take -1 as an argument, meaning "total array size divided by product of all other listed dimensions":

e.g. to flatten all but the last dimension:

>>> arr = numpy.zeros((50,100,25))
>>> new_arr = arr.reshape(-1, arr.shape[-1])
>>> new_arr.shape
# (5000, 25)

An alternative approach is to use numpy.resize() as in:

In [37]: shp = (50,100,25)
In [38]: arr = np.random.random_sample(shp)
In [45]: resized_arr = np.resize(arr, (np.prod(shp[:2]), shp[-1]))
In [46]: resized_arr.shape
Out[46]: (5000, 25)

# sanity check with other solutions
In [47]: resized = np.reshape(arr, (-1, shp[-1]))
In [48]: np.allclose(resized_arr, resized)
Out[48]: True

A slight generalization to Peter's answer -- you can specify a range over the original array's shape if you want to go beyond three dimensional arrays.

e.g. to flatten all but the last two dimensions:

arr = numpy.zeros((3, 4, 5, 6))
new_arr = arr.reshape(-1, *arr.shape[-2:])
new_arr.shape
# (12, 5, 6)

EDIT: A slight generalization to my earlier answer -- you can, of course, also specify a range at the beginning of the of the reshape too:

arr = numpy.zeros((3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8))
new_arr = arr.reshape(*arr.shape[:2], -1, *arr.shape[-2:])
new_arr.shape
# (3, 4, 30, 7, 8)
