The code doesn't define 'np', so this line should produce an error.

The code you linked contains this import:

    import numpy as np

However you didn't show it here, so I wonder if you posted the real code.

The built-in function sum() returns a single value, not a list, so this
is a reasonable error.

I suspect the code actually intended to call numpy.sum(), which does
return a list (or something like a list).
