You could take advantage of the nan-related functions:


>>> help(numpy.nansum)
Help on function nansum in module numpy.lib.function_base:

nansum(a, axis=-1)
    Sum the array over the given axis, treating NaNs as 0.

Btw, do you know what is treated as NaN in numpy when getting the data
from some external source (file, python list etc.), apart from None? I
asked that on this list but it apparently went unnoticed.
