@jseabold suggested a solution like this on the ML

# make some age variables 15-70
age = np.random.randint(15, 71, size=100)

# bin them into groups 15-24, 25-34, 35-70.
bin_idx = np.digitize(age, [25, 35, 71])

# make dummy variables
import scikits.statsmodels.api as sm
age_dummy, labels = sm.categorical(bin_idx, drop=True, dictnames=True)
