Thanks for your answer!

The thing is that I actually want to use a list of measured values, so dings would not be a list of following integers (like range(1,5)), but some (real) numbers, for example dings = [1.2438, 1.2473, 1.2398] just with more than 3 numbers. So I do need to use a list in a sum context. I could write it with a for loop (and did, which worked), but I really want to use a sum. I mean, using a function in a sum should be possible?
