python list append gives a error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'append'

Question

I have list = [] and I am adding an element to it using self.list.append('test') and I get this error - AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'append'

The other list that I have defined append just fine, any ideas?

Answer 1

first of all,you cannot use in-built function 'list' as a variable name and second is that with function object we cannot use append

Answer 2

It seems you have a function in your code that is shadowing Python's built-in function named list.
