Answer 1

You may have used built-in name 'list' for a variable in your code. If you are using Jupyter notebook, sometimes even if you change the name of that variable from 'list' to something different and rerun that cell, you may still get the error. In this case you need to restart the Kernal. In order to make sure that the name has change, click on the word 'list' when you are creating a list object and press Shift+Tab, and check if Docstring shows it as an empty list.
