Define a Python function rather than a symbolic function.

def g(x):
    return sum(frac(j*p/q), j, 0, x)

Define a Python function rather than a symbolic function.

p, q = 33, 21

def g(x):
    return sum(frac(j*p/q), j, 0, x)
sum(frac(j*p/q) for j in range(x+1))

sage: g(10)

Define There are two ways to get the value you want.

One is to define a Python function rather than a symbolic function.

Define p and q:

p, q = 33, 21

Define the function:

def g(x):
    return sum(frac(j*p/q) for j in range(x+1))

Use it:

sage: g(10)
31/7

sage: j = SR.var('j')
sage: g(x) = sum(frac(j*p/q), j, 0, x)
sage: g(10).factor()
