Why can't I cast itertools.chain object to list in Jython

In Python:

list(itertools.chain.from_iterable(['aaa','bbb']))

gives:

['a','a','a','b','b','b']

as expected. In Jython 2.7.0 the same code gives TypeError: 'str' object is not callable.

Note that it seems to be the attempt to cast to a list that gives the error, as 

for c in itertools.chain.from_iterable(['aaa','bbb']):
     lst.append(c)

constructs the required list.

I suspect there is no problem with Jython, you just declared a variable named list and assigned it a string value.

Run del list to get rid of the name shadowing the built-in, then retry, and it should work on Jython too.
