### How to build a generating series

Hello. Forgive me, I'm still a bit new to coding. I want to create a generating q-series for functions I've already defined, which have complex number outputs. These functions are denoted g(k, n, z), where k, n are integers and z in a complex input. I'd like the series sum([g(k, n, z)*q^n for n in range(1, 100)]) or something along those lines. The error code is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-35-5dc58c06413b> in <module> 5 return sum([g(k, n, z)q*n for n in range(Integer(1), Integer(100))]) 6 ----> 7 G(Integer(2), Integer(1)+i)

<ipython-input-35-5dc58c06413b> in G(k, z) 3 def G(k, z): 4 var('q') ----> 5 return sum([g(k, n, z)qn for n in range(Integer(1), Integer(100))]) 6 7 G(Integer(2), Integer(1)+i) <ipython-input-35-5dc58c06413b> in <listcomp>(.0) 3 def G(k, z): 4 var('q') ----> 5 return sum([g(k, n, z)qn for n in range(Integer(1), Integer(100))]) 6 7 G(Integer(2), Integer(1)+i) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression

I apologize I cannot make the above formatting more clear. Perhaps someone could help me!
