I think the question from op was more about how to do this through all (or a list of) columns at once. Here is a comparison between pandas and graphlab.
import graphlab as gl
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
data = np.random.randint(0,10,size=100).reshape(10,10)
col_names = list('ABCDEFGHIJ')
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=names)
sf = graphlab.SFrame(df)
df.sum().sort_values(ascending=False)
D 65
A 61
J 59
B 50
H 46
G 46
I 45
F 43
C 37
E 36
for col in col_names:
print col, sf[col].sum()
A 61
B 50
C 37
D 65
E 36
F 43
G 46
H 46
I 45
J 59
