ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 300

Just iterate over the transposed of your array:

for column in array.T:
   some_function(column)

ANSWER 2

Score 29

This should give you a start

>>> for col in range(arr.shape[1]):
    some_function(arr[:,col])


[1 2 3 4]
[99 14 12 43]
[2 5 7 1]

ANSWER 3

Score 8

For a three dimensional array you could try:

for c in array.transpose(1, 0, 2):
    do_stuff(c)

See the docs on how array.transpose works. Basically you are specifying which dimension to shift. In this case we are shifting the second dimension (e.g. columns) to the first dimension.

ANSWER 4

Score 4

for c in np.hsplit(array, array.shape[1]):
    some_fun(c)
