  • Python: list(iterable) not working ?

hey guys, i was doing some exercices with python, and i had to create a list of lists.
i tried to map(list, iterable) it failed then i opened idle and it could not compute it. here is what i got: 
>>> print list("axiom")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
    print list("axiom")
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
Any ideas? im on 2.7.2

edit: i tried codepad.org i got the list as its supposed to for the same input.. its a bug i guess?
>>> list = [] # You probably assigned to 'list', don't do that
>>> print list("axiom")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
Yeah that's exactly what I have done. I made it to work. Still thanks for help :)
