[Python] Is there a numpy function that allows you to specify start, step, and number?

We're all familiar with np.linspace, which creates an array given a start, stop, and num of elements:

In [1]: import numpy as np

In [2]: np.linspace(0, 10, 9)
Out[2]: array([ 0. , 1.25, 2.5 , 3.75, 5. , 6.25, 7.5 , 8.75, 10. ])


Likewise, who could ever forget np.arange, which creates an array given a start, stop, and step:

In [4]: np.arange(0, 10, 1.25)
Out[4]: array([ 0. , 1.25, 2.5 , 3.75, 5. , 6.25, 7.5 , 8.75])


But is there a function that allows you to specify a start, step, and num of elements, while omitting the stop? There should be.
