python append list return none

Question

I have the following code to generate a list of tuples:

list_of_tuples = list()

for name in list_of_names:
    temporary_list = [name]
    date = function_t         


        

Answer 1

You forgot to call the list() type:

list_of_tuples = list()
#    ----------------^ You didn't do this.

Your exception (as posted in the comments) shows that you tried to call .append on the type object instead:

>>> list.append(())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: descriptor 'append' requires a 'list' object but received a 'tuple'
>>> list().append(())

Better use [] to produce an empty list in any case:

list_of_tuples = []
