[Numpy-discussion] fast access and normalizing of ndarray slices

Hey Val,

Well it doesn't matter what I do, but specifically I do factor = sum(data_array[start_point:start_point+length_data]) and then
data[array[start_point:start_point+length_data]) /= factor. and that for every star_point and length data.

How to do this fast?

Cheers
