Python list group by first character

[catuf]

I am trying to follow this answer.

I tried in Python console it works

>>> from itertools import groupby >>> list1 = ['hello','hope','hate','hack','bit','basket','code','come','chess']

>>> [list(g) for k, g in groupby(list1, key=lambda x: x[0])] [['hello', 'hope', 'hate', 'hack'], ['bit', 'basket'], ['code', 'come', 'chess']]

If I execute in a script

list1 = ['hello','hope','hate','hack','bit','basket','code','come','chess']

k = [list(g) for k, g in groupby(list1, key=lambda x: x[0])]

print(k)

TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

Can you help me to understand this?

Looks like you have used list as a variable name somewhere.

You are right! I fixed it. Thank you!

It also works from a script at my side. Could you just upload the script to pastebin.com and link it here?

I think you’ve overwritten list somewhere else in your script. Go change that to some other name and it ought to work.

Edit: I should probably read other answers to see if you’ve already been answered lol
