Some observations:
- sum() is Python built-in function. Never use it as name.
- I personally prefer take user input in following way (subjectively it's more readable):
- otherwise your code a quite a mess; you set sum to zero then create function with same name. You use name sum inside of function sum; function is defined but never used etc.
Function should be quite simple: you have list, you define total with value zero, you iterate over list elements and add all elements to total, you return total.
