Here's one way you could do it:

In [43]: indices = [0,1,2,3,5,7,8,9,10,12,13,14]

In [44]: jumps = where(diff(indices) != 1)[0] + 1

In [45]: starts = hstack((0, jumps))

In [46]: ends = hstack((jumps, len(indices)))

In [47]: slices = [slice(start, end) for start, end in zip(starts, ends)]

In [48]: slices
Out[48]: [slice(0, 4, None), slice(4, 5, None), slice(5, 9, None), slice(9,
12, None)]
