Cumulative (running) sum with django orm and postgresql

Question

Is it possible to calculate the cumulative (running) sum using django\'s orm? Consider the following model:

class AModel(models.Model):
    a_number = models

From Dima Kudosh's answer and based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/5700744/2240489 I had to do the following: I removed the reference to PARTITION BY in the sql and replaced with ORDER BY resulting in.

AModel.objects.annotate(
    cumsum=Func(
        Sum('a_number'), 
        template='%(expressions)s OVER (ORDER BY %(order_by)s)', 
        order_by="id"
    ) 
).values('id', 'cumsum').order_by('id', 'cumsum')

This gives the following sql:

SELECT "amodel"."id",
SUM("amodel"."a_number") 
OVER (ORDER BY id) AS "cumsum" 
FROM "amodel" 
GROUP BY "amodel"."id" 
ORDER BY "amodel"."id" ASC, "cumsum" ASC

Dima Kudosh's answer was not summing the results but the above does.
