Its because you set unpack=True, unpack transposes your array.

From the numpy documentation:

unpack : bool, optional

If True, the returned array is transposed, so that arguments may be
unpacked using x, y, z = loadtxt(...). When used with a record data-type, 
arrays are returned for each field. Default is False.`

If you set it to false, it wont transpose the array.

Thank you! I also found out that genfromtxt does the same thing.
