Scipy Objective function

I am trying to convert my gurobi code into scipy but I am having trouble defining the objective function. When testing to see if I defined the function correctly I get the error:

TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable

The code is here:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
from scipy.optimize import minimize
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
step=80
f1load=[44,48,53,28,32,36,41,48,38,32,38,34,44,36,41,48,38,32,44,48,53,28,32,36,41,48,38,32,38,34,44,36,41,48,38,32,44,48,53,28,32,36,41,48,38,32,38,34,44,36,41,48,38,32,44,48,53,28,32,36,41,48,38,32,38,34,44,36,41,48,38,32,44,48,53,28,32,36,41,48,38,32,38,34,44,36,41,48]
fload=f1load[0:step+1]
i1load=[40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40]
iload=i1load[0:step+1]
#Following command converts fload&iload to arrays and subtracts them from each other 
load1=np.array(iload)-np.array(fload)
load1
#This command converts array to list so we can use it as a list in the rest of the code
load2=load1.tolist()
load=load2
x = np.zeros(80)
x = x.tolist()
def objective(x,load):
# this line is from my gurobi code    obj1=sum(((load[i+1]-(6*x[i]))*(load[i+1]-(6*x[i])) for i in range (n)))
    for i in range(step):
        obj1 = sum((load[i+1]-(6*x[i]))*(load[i+1]-(6*x[i])))
        obj2 = obj2 + obj1
    return obj2

objective(x,load)
