Numarray: Using sum() within functions

Cobbling together a number of suggestions, what finally worked was--

def f3(x, y, z, t_range=arange(numT)):
    tempval = 0.* x
    for t in t_range:
      tempval += f1(x,y,z,t) + f2(y,z,t)
    return tempval

out = fromfunction(f3,(numX,numY,numZ,1))


I couldn't quite get sum() to work inside the function, but this
is definitely good enough for now.  Thanks to all for your help.
