NameError while using append on a list [Python]
10,607
Solution 1
You have the call backwards
append.wordlen("_")
You meant
wordlen.append("_")
Solution 2
The corrected code is
wordlen.append("_")
Another way to do it can be:
wordlen = ["_"]*len(word)
Or if you want just the string:
"_"*len(word)
Solution 3
You have given
append.wordlen("_")
it should be
wordlen.append("_")
Solution 4
It should be - wordlen.append("_")
list objects have the append()
function, not the otherway round.

I'm trying to make a simple hangman game in Python 2.7.10. However when I try to append "_" for every letter in the word in a list. It throws:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Janek\Dropbox\python\vjesalo.py", line 82, in <module> append.wordlen(olo) NameError: name 'append' is not defined
No idea why this happends because if I run in the python terminal
list = [] list.append("Bla bla bla")
It works just fine
Here is my code:
from sys import exit from time import sleep word = raw_input("Enter a word: ") if word.isalpha() == True: word.lower() else: print "Invalid word!" sleep(3) exit() wordlen = [] for i in range(len(word)): append.wordlen("_") print wordlen
