[BangPypers] Issue with list comprehension

[Abdul Muneer]

Hi,
"_sum=sum([n for n in itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x < 400, fib)])
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable"

Probably 'sum' might have been used earlier in the code to store the value
of some integer. "sum" is a builtin function but the moment you assign
sum=(x+y) or something, you have lost that function. If you are doubtful,
do `from __builtin__ import * ` to reclaim your builtin variables and
functions.

Regards,
Abdul Muneer
