It does not quite sound like what you are looking for, but the only
thing I can think of in numpy right now that does something in that
direction is the ufunc.reduceat functionality:

In [1]: a = np.arange(10)

In [2]: a[2:5].sum(), a[5:9].sum(), a[9:].sum()
Out[2]: (9, 26, 9)

In [3]: np.add.reduceat(a, [2, 5, 9])
Out[3]: array([ 9, 26,  9])

Sebastian
