I am new to python. I think n begins at 0 and it will increase up till the last element on stack1.
arraylength = 3*stack1length
array = [0]*arraylength
for n in stack1:
array[3*n] = stack1[n]
my array length is 3 times the length of stack1

for n in stack1:
Goes through the items in stack1.
You seem to be wanting to go through the indexes:
for n in range(len(stack1)):
array[3*n] = stack1[n]
Note that this is better written with the convenience function, enumerate,
for n, stack1_n in enumerate(stack1):
array[3*n] = stack1_n
Additionally, you can use some evil hackz:
array[::3] = stack1
array[::3] is every third item in array (start:stop:step), and therefore you're setting every third item to the corresponding item in stack1.
