I would drop the default value for the parameter.
( I suspect that Python doesn't like DATA as a default value
because it means you cant use the function anywhere DATA is
not defined. But I'm not sure about that)
Just use:
def iter_dict_funky_sum(data):
...
Then when you call the function pass in DATA as its argument:
iter_dict_funky_sum(DATA):
