Thank you Georg, I updated the patch Ezio, wouldn't start=0 in the signature imply that sum accepted a keyword argument? I read "Documenting Python" (4.3) but am not sure about the distinction of default values or keyword arbuments. >>> sum([1,2,3], start=4) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: sum() takes no keyword arguments
