How can I add to a list in python by user input

I want to add to a list by user inputs. Here's my code:

list = []  
list.append = int(input())
print(list)

When I run it I get this error:

 AttributeError: 'list' object attribute 'append' is read-only

What am I missing?

Your problem is that you are trying to set the "append" attribute of the list to the new value. list.append is the append attribute, which is read-only and can't be changed with list.append = newValue (explication of your error), while list.append() is the method which is actually what appends to your list.

list.append = int(input())

should be replaced with

list.append(int(input()))

Hope this helped.
