How to slice range of array along a (a-priori unknown) axis?

Thanks, that does the trick! I love the fact that you can create commands at
runtime :). I also found a command called swapaxes, which is very fast, so
just in case you're interested, here's another way:

def el_remove_bcells(var, axis):
    swap = swapaxes(var, 0, axis)
    swap = swap[1:-1]
    return swapaxes(swap, 0, axis)
