Without using numpy, your transpose function could be: def transpose(mat): return list(zip(*mat)) numpy provides the roll function, but it doesn't allow for a varying shift per index. I don't see a way to do it other than to roll each column separately: >>> mat = np.array([[1,2,3,4,5,6], ... [7,8,9,10,11,12], ... [13,14,15,16,17,18], ... [19,20,21,22,23,24], ... [25,26,27,28,29,30], ... [31,32,33,34,35,36], ... [37,38,39,40,41,42]]) >>> res = np.empty_like(mat) >>> for i in range(mat.shape[1]): ... res[:,i] = np.roll(mat[:,i], -i, 0) ... >>> res array([[ 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36], [ 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42], [13, 20, 27, 34, 41, 6], [19, 26, 33, 40, 5, 12], [25, 32, 39, 4, 11, 18], [31, 38, 3, 10, 17, 24], [37, 2, 9, 16, 23, 30]]) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
