exactly! Now, the question was, is there a way to do this only using numpy 
functions (sum, repeat, ...), that means without any python "for" loop?

Sorry about being so insistent on this one but, in my experience, eliminating 
those for loops makes a huge difference in terms of speed. The zip is probably 
also quite costly on a very large data set.

Thanks!
