Question

I’m trying to convert a list to a tuple.

Most solutions on Google offer the following code:

l = [4,5,6]
tuple(l)

However, the code results in an error message when I run it:

TypeError: ‘tuple’ object is not callable

How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

It should work fine. Don’t use tuple, list or other special names as a variable name. It’s probably what’s causing your problem.

>>> l = [4,5,6]
>>> tuple(l)
(4, 5, 6)

>>> tuple = 'whoops'   # Don't do this
>>> tuple(l)
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable
