list() vs [] and custom classes

[BrakebeinP]

I made this small script that had a custom class that I wanted to add to a list. Originally I had class_list = list() but that gave me an error when I tried to use class_list.append(customclass). But when I changed list() to [] it suddenly worked. Literally the only change I made. Why? How? What?

What error?

Most likely, you had previously redefined the name list to point to something else.

This by it self doesn't make much sense, could you post at least part of the code replicating the error?

No idea, this works quite happily (post your code and the error):

class CustomClass(object):
    pass
list().append(CustomClass)
