Calling Error: TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Q&A
#1

When I run the code, I am getting the following error:

TypeErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-adcf3b9024dd> in <module>()
      2 from csv import reader
      3 read_file  = reader(opened_file)
----> 4 apps_data = list(read_file)
      5 
      6 rating_sum = 0

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Is there something wrong with my code or is it a back end problem?

Hey, Isabel.

This happened because you overwrote the built-in object list with something else.

Using the search function on discourse you can find many similar questions with varying degrees of explanations and solutions.

I hope this helps.
