First Read the input number asking for the length of the list using the input() function and store these values into a list. After that, you can use the sum() function or Iterate each element in the list using a for loop and sump up all.
Python program to sum all the items in a list input by the user
Simple example code.
Using sum() method
lst = []
num = int(input('How many numbers: '))
for n in range(num):
numbers = int(input('Enter number '))
lst.append(numbers)
print("Sum of elements in given list is :", sum(lst))
Output:

Using for loop with range function
lst = []
total = 0
num = int(input('How many numbers: '))
for n in range(num):
numbers = int(input('Enter number '))
lst.append(numbers)
for ele in range(0, len(lst)):
total = total + lst[ele]
print("The Sum of user input value is :", total)
Output:
How many numbers: 3
Enter number 1
Enter number 2
Enter number 3
The Sum of the user input value is: 6
