Yikes. Thanks very much. Python seems to act unlike other language in which words like float are reserved. I'll use asum.

The problem is that there is a function sum and you creating a float sum:

sum = 0.0

and

mean = sum(hist)

even if both could exist side by side it would be very confusing IMO.

I think I understand it, but how does one prevent it from happening, or know it's the cause? That msg I got?

I think PL/I, FORTRAN, ALGOL, etc. have reserved words.
