Adding values with reduce() function from the list of tuples

After built-in sum was added main value of reduce was... reduced :-).

From About Guido’s Article: “Fate of Reduce() in Python 3000”

Quote:Guido: “I value readability and usefulness for real code. There are some places where map() and filter() make sense, and for other places Python has list comprehensions. I ended up hating reduce() because it was almost exclusively used (a) to implement sum(), or (b) to write unreadable code. So we added built-in sum() at the same time we demoted reduce() from a built-in to something in functools (which is a dumping ground for stuff I don’t really care about :-).”

And Guidos original article: The fate of reduce() in Python 3000
