title: Faster way to sum a list of numbers than with a for-loop?
body: <p>Is there a way to sum up a list of numbers faster than with a for-loop, perhaps in the Python library? Or is that something really only multi-threading / vector processing can do efficiently?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Just to clarify, it could be a list of any numbers, unsorted, just input from the user.</p>
