NumPy - Insert an array of zeros after specified indices

My code is:



x=np.linspace(1,5,5)

a=np.insert(x,np.arange(1,5,1),np.zeros(3))


The output I want is:



[1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,4,0,0,0,5]


The error I get is:




ValueError: shape mismatch: value array of shape (3,) could not be
broadcast to indexing result of shape (4,)




When I do:



x=np.linspace(1,5,5)

a=np.insert(x,np.arange(1,5,1),0)


The out is:



array([1., 0., 2., 0., 3., 0., 4., 0., 5.])


Why it doesn't work when I try to insert an array?



P.S. I I cannot use loops

          Another option:



          np.hstack((x[:,None], np.zeros((5,3)))).flatten()[:-3]


          gives:



          array([ 1., 0., 0., 0., 2., 0., 0., 0., 3., 0., 0., 0., 4.,
          0., 0., 0., 5.])


          That is, pretend x is a column vector and stack a 5x3 block of zeros to the right of it and then flatten.
