Error while trying to list dictionary keys error in python, list object not callable?

Question

tel = {'jack':4098, 'sape':4139}
tel['guido'] = 4127
list(tel)

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 list(tel)

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

What am doing wrong? Thanks.

See, there is nothing wrong in the given code snippet. ['jack', 'sape', 'guido'] is the output from the snippet. You must have created a variable name list in your code. — mrtpk

You must've assigned to list a different value earlier in your IPython session. Restart your IPython session and the same code would work.
