RPG Roller- Works in my IDE (including total and length) but code challenge gives Error: Can't get length of hand

import dice

class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=0, die_class=None, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__()

        for _ in range(size):
            self.append(die_class())
        self.sort()

    @property
    def total(self):
        return sum(self)

    @classmethod
    def roll(cls, size=0, die_class=dice.D20):
        return cls(size, die_class)

new_roll = Hand.roll(2)

print(new_roll)
print(new_roll.total)
print(len(new_roll))

The output is:

[9, 14]

23

2

The roll method should be using the parent Hand class to create an instance of a list, passing it the size and die_class properties that it needs. Therefore new_roll should be a proper list, which includes having a length. My IDE seems to agree. What am I overlooking?

Thanks for your help!
