This is off-topic but a good question. It shows people don't think of
checking the [http://docs.python.org/library/__builtin__.html python
documentation] for something like this, so perhaps a more prominent
pointer is necessary
{{{
sage: import __builtin__
sage: __builtin__.sum?
...
Docstring:
sum(sequence[, start]) -> value
}}}
> (What's a big deal of having access to maxima 5.26? It compiles with ECL
supplied with Sage 4.8)
I tried on sage.math.washington.edu with the 4.8 precompiled tarball there
and it didn't work for me. Luckily there are other people more skilled at
compiling maxima.
