Python NumPy - angled slice of 3D array

You can try with np.diagonal:

arr = np.array([[[0  ,1  ,2],
          [3  ,4  ,5],
          [6  ,7  ,8]],
         [[9  ,10 ,11],
          [12 ,13 ,14],
          [15 ,16 ,17]],
         [[18 ,19 ,20],
          [21 ,22 ,23],
          [24 ,25 ,26]]])

np.diagonal(arr).T
array([[ 0,  1,  2],
       [12, 13, 14],
       [24, 25, 26]])

In [145]: arr[np.arange(3), np.arange(3),:]
Out[145]: 
array([[ 0,  1,  2],
       [12, 13, 14],
       [24, 25, 26]])
