Strange that during video an error seem to be popped up but then nothing is mentioned about it and when tried later on seem to work just fine.
This is what I'm referring to: http://mydevhost.net/WhyErrorNoError.png

Treehouse Guest TeacherHmm, that's a good question. I've recorded 7 other courses since then, so forgive me if the details slip my mind. My best guess is that it's a typo caused by our Workspaces terminal sometimes not showing all of the characters when you back up over a line.
I bet I ended up, accidentally, typing something like a_list.index('z')(), which would cause Python to try and call the index, an integer, as a function.

9,758 PointsWell, thank you. I was just curious since it wasn't mentioned during the time that it happened and I really work hard to see it right to make sure it was written exactly as the second one (trying to learn what could actually caused the error or what does it means) but seem that both lines were identical so I though asking would be part of the learning experience. Anyway, thanks for your prompted response and Merry Christmas to you :)
