Oh snap. Good call--idk what I was thinking. Tired, I guess. :) In
that case, if you were going to use reversed() things would get a bit
nastier:

In [13]: np.array(list(reversed(np.array([9-i for i in xrange(10)]).cumsum())))
Out[13]: array([45, 45, 44, 42, 39, 35, 30, 24, 17,  9])

...which is gross enough that this approach is probably worth abandoning.

I meant to say Alan's suggestion, i.e. x[::-1].cumsum()[::-1].
