#One method that I know works, is the following:
def accumulate(iterable, func=operator.add, *, initial=None):
'Return running totals'
# accumulate([1,2,3,4,5]) --> 1 3 6 10 15
# accumulate([1,2,3,4,5], initial=100) --> 100 101 103 106 110 115
# accumulate([1,2,3,4,5], operator.mul) --> 1 2 6 24 120
it = iter(iterable)
total = initial
if initial is None:
try:
total = next(it)
except StopIteration:
return
yield total
for element in it:
total = func(total, element)
yield total
