It has always bugged me that python's sum was taken away by sympy. Since the syntax is different between python's and sympy's I don't see a problem with falling back to python's sum when a list is enountered as the first argument:
>>> sum([1,2],3) 6 HOWEVER, there is a very natural parallel between Integral/integrate and Sum/summate. The definition of summate (taken from WordWeb's first definition) is "to determine the sum of". So I am either for option 1 or introduction of summate. (I like the summate better because of the parallelism with Integral.) /c -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
