Function chaining in Python

Question

On Codewars.com I encountered the following task:

Create a function add that adds numbers together when called in succession. So add(1

Answer 1

The pythonic way to do this would be to use dynamic arguments:

def add(*args):
    return sum(args)

This is not the answer you're looking for, and you may know this, but I thought I would give it anyway because if someone was wondering about doing this not out of curiosity but for work. They should probably have the "right thing to do" answer.
