Is this about sum not accepting start as keyword argument? It's fixed with
issue34637. The help function in the report is that start could only be a
positional argument with start appearing before '/' in "sum(iterable, start=0,
/)" . This has been changed in 3.8 to below signature.
sum(iterable, /, start=0)
Return the sum of a 'start' value (default: 0) plus an iterable of numbers
When the iterable is empty, return the start value.
This function is intended specifically for use with numeric values and may
reject non-numeric types.
