Excellent accumulator!
Would it be possible to add support for sparse arrays as well?

Along the lines:
def accum(..., dtype=None):
=> def accum(..., dtype=None, sparse= False):

# Create the output array.
out= np.empty(size, dtype=dtype)
...
=> # Create the output array.
if sparse:
    out= sparse(size, dtype=dtype) # just an idea, caller may provide more 
details
    ...
else:
    out= np.empty(size, dtype=dtype)
    ...
