how to efficiently select multiple slices from an array?

Cross-posting a question I asked on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/q/15527666/152439): Given an array d = np.random.randn(100) and an index array i = np.random.random_integers(low=3, high=d.size - 5, size=20) how can I efficiently create a 2d array r with r.shape = (20, 8) such that for all j=0..19, r[j] = d[i[j]-3:i[j]+5] In my case, the arrays are quite large (~200000 instead of 100 and 20), so something quick would be useful. Cheers, Andreas.

You can use stride tricks, its simple to do by hand, but since I got it, maybe just use this: https://gist.github.com/seberg/3866040 d = np.random.randn(100) windowed_d = rolling_window(d, 8) i = np.random_integers(len(windowed_d)) r = d[i,:] Or use stride_tricks by hand, with: windowed_d = np.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided(d, (d.shape[0]-7, 8), (d.strides[0],)*2) Since the fancy indexing will create a copy, while windowed_d views the same data as the original array, of course that is not the case for the end result.
