[issue7176] sum() doesn't work for lists.

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

To sum lists, you need to supply a second argument to sum:

>>> sum([[1, 2], ['x', 'y']], [])
[1, 2, 'x', 'y']

The default value of the second argument is 0, which is why you're seeing 
the TypeError.
