Disclaimer: I am not an expert in symbolics (I am more into algebra).

I thought the following should work:
  sage: var('n')
  n
  sage: f = (2*I)^n/(n^3+1)*(1/4)^n
  sage: sum(f,0,infinity)

However, an error occurs.

The "sum" command uses Maxima to do the summation. Maxima apparently
gives an answer, but Sage does not understand it:
  TypeError: unable to make sense of Maxima expression 'f[4,3]([1,1,-
(sqrt(3)*I+1)/2,(sqrt(3)*I-1)/2],[2,-(sqrt(3)*I-1)/2,(sqrt(3)*I+1)/
2],I/2)' in Sage

So, there might be a bug here, or I made a mistake.

Best regards,
Simon
