Python Challenge making function lists and returning sums

I can't seem to figure out this function call?

functions.py
# add_list([1, 2, 3]) should return 6
# summarize([1, 2, 3]) should return "The sum of [1, 2, 3] is 6."
# Note: both functions will only take *one* argument each.

def add_list():
  for number in add_list
  return sum

There's another person working on this issue right now. You might want to check out this post.

You'll need to add a colon at the start of your for loop, and indent the line below.
