Could you try the examples in the documentation at [1] and see if it's what you wanted?

[sage-support] Wrong documentation for sum() function?
When ask sage about the function sum() sage: sum? I get told to use it the following way: sage: sum(expression, k, 1, n) which should give me back the summation of "expression" over the index k from 1 to n. Unfortunately this gives me an error message like "summation index needed". I found out searching the internet that writing instead: sum(expression for k in (1..n)) works. So I'm assuming that the documentation is outdated. Maybe this is well know, but I hope it is ok to post this here.
