cvxpy:'sum_entries' is not defined

I am trying to resolve a portfolio optimization problem in Python using CVXPY but getting an error sum_entries is not defined. I am using Anaconda 2.7 and Jupyter notebook. I have installed cvxpy, msgpack, argpack and cvxopt using conda pip install. Below is the snippet of the code. Any suggestions?

w=Variable(len(CovMatrix))
risk=quad_form(w,Sigma)
constraints=
constraints.append(w>=0)
constraints.append(sum_entries(w)==1)
prob=Problem(cvx.Minimize(risk),constraints)
prob.solve(solver='CVXOPT',verbose=True)


Here is the error I am getting:

NameError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-20-7f2f1e65a66e> in <module>() 4 constraints= 5 constraints.append(w>=0) ----> 6 constraints.append(sum_entries(w)==1) 7 8

prob=Problem(cvx.Minimize(risk),constraints) NameError: name

It should be cvx.sum_entries instead of sum_entries. Similarly, your Problem should be cvx.Problem.

cvx.sum_entries

sum_entries

Problem

cvx.Problem
