Elegant pythonic cumsum

Question

What would be an elegant and pythonic way to implement cumsum?
Alternatively - if there\'a already a built-in way to do it, that would be even better of course...

Answer 1

def cumsum(a):
     return map(lambda x: sum( a[0:x+1] ), range( 0, len(a) ))

cumsum([1,2,3])

> [1, 3, 6]
