Indeed, AlexP is right. The eval_MSE kwarg bool does exactly what you 
want and reuse intermediate variables to make the computation of the 
prediction's mean and variance optimal (as it is done in DACE for Matlab 
on which this implementation is based). When eval_MSE is True, the 
predictor returns a tuple of 2 arrays (one for the mean values and the 
other for the variance's) that you can split right away. See the 
following examples:
