>>> help(sum) Help on built-in function sum in module builtins: sum(iterable, start=0, /) Return the sum of a 'start' value (default: 0) plus an iterable of numbers When the iterable is empty, return the start value. This function is intended specifically for use with numeric values and may reject non-numeric types. >>> sum([1, 2, 3], start=3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module> sum([1, 2, 3], start=3) TypeError: sum() takes no keyword arguments By the way, it is very annoying that the start value is not available, because it hampers the possibility to use sum with things like vectors.

Help on built-in function sum in module builtins:

sum(iterable, start=0, /)
    Return the sum of a 'start' value (default: 0) plus an iterable of numbers
    
    When the iterable is empty, return the start value.
    This function is intended specifically for use with numeric values and may
    reject non-numeric types.

>>> sum([1, 2, 3], start=3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module>
    sum([1, 2, 3], start=3)
TypeError: sum() takes no keyword arguments

By the way, it is very annoying that the start value is not available, because it hampers the possibility to use sum with things like vectors.
