So "results" is a list consisting of 1000 lists, each of length four. Here, what I want to get is the sum of 1000 lists, and then the result is a list of length four. Is there any efficient way to do this? Because I found it is slow in my case. I tried sum(d2(t[k]) for k in xrange(1000)), but it returned error: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'list'. Thanks.

I think you need something like this

I'll let you add the finishing touches if I'm correct :)
