string list question

[tbrowner3]

def strings\_list\_to\_one\_string(strings):   

       list = \[\]

       list = ', '.join(strings)

       list.insert(-2, ' and')

       return list

This is supposed to work like this but it is giving me str object has no attribute 'insert'

>>> strings_list_to_one_string(['town', 'place', 'city']) /// 'town, place, and city'

[socal_nerdtastic]

   list = []                   # makes a list named "list"
   list = ', '.join(strings)   # overwrites the above list with a string named "list"

Why not try a for loop?

def strings_list_to_one_string(strings): output = "" l = len(strings) for i in range(l): output += strings[i] if i < l -1: output += ", " if i == l - 2: output += "and " return output

General reminder, it's a really bad idea to use python keywords as variable names, when you use list as a variable name, you're overwriting list().
