I get an error.
How can you calculate the sum of the values by Python?

Why isn't this using the sum method like SilentGhost's answer?

+1 for using map() on a file: clever!

Why is this question more Pythonic than SilentGhost's one? --- In my opinion, the use of the function `map` is rather implicit.

well, apparently it's not the best strategy. Accepted answers regardless of their correctness tend to get higher vote. Seriously, how many of the voters saw that tiny `pythonic` tag do you think?

Why do you use `.read().split()` in your answer? --- Your code works without them.

How do you read the part `float(i) for`. This is my first time that I see a function before a for -loop.

@ SilentGhost: Where is the explanation of the syntax in manual? --- I could not find it in Python's help(), nor in the online manual.

I accept this answer because I see that it is less implicit to use `float(i)` inside `sum` than the use of `map`.

@SilentGhost: Thank you for the link and your answer! --- I see that your way of using `generator expression` is much clearer than the use of `map` -function.
