summation of matrices

Can we use sum function to add a number of matrices? If not, then how to add a number of matrices with just a single command. Suppose I want to create 10 random matrices of order 5x5 and then want their sum as a result. I tried the following command, but it didn't work.

A_{i}=random_matrix(ZZ,5,5) for i in range(1,10); sum(A_{i}, i, 1, 10)

Note: I even could not generate 10 random matrices with the above command.

The following works:

sage: L = [random_matrix(ZZ,5,5) for i in range(1,10)] ; L
sage: sum(L)

or directly without creating a list first:

sage: sum(random_matrix(ZZ,5,5) for i in range(1,10))

L=[random_matrix(ZZ,5,5) for _ in range(1,10)]; sum(L[i] for i in range (0,9))
