One logical error I found in the above line is that j doesn't have a definite (integer) value, so how can summation run i from n-j to n, but even when I added at the head of the above statement: for j in range(n+1): ... I still get the same error. Obviously, Python is still trying to prematurely evaluate lamb[i]. I then tried to do an indirection by defining: def getlamb(i): return lamb[i] ... and replacing lamb[i] by getlamb(i), but still the same premature evaluation happens.
