Python Error: List Object Not Callable with For Loop

Question

Alright so i'm having this TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

It's on the for loop below the (if type=='D')

Exact error is as follows:

     Traceback(most recent call last):
     file"test.py", line 55 in <module>
     main()
     File "test.py", line 49, in main
     for i in range(len(accountlist())):
     TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

My code is below, i've tried putting each parenthesis in brackets and renaming the list to something different, always getting around the same error.

What am i doing wrong here?

class BankAccount:

def __init__(self, getbankaccount, inputAmount=0):

    self.__balance = inputAmount

    self.__numDeposits = 0

    self.__numWithdrawals = 0

    self.__totalDeposits = 0

    self.__totalWithdrawals = 0

    self.__getbankaccount=getbankaccount

def getBalance(self):

    return self.__balance

def getNumDeposits(self):

    return self.__numDeposits

def getNumWithdrawals(self):

    return self.__numWithdrawals

def getTotalDeposits(self):

    return self.__totalDeposits

def getTotalWithdrawals(self):

    return self.__totalWithdrawals

def getbankaccount(self):

    return self.__getbankaccount

def Deposit(self,amount):

    self.__balance = self.__balance + amount

    self.__numDeposits = self.__numDeposits + 1

    self.__totalDeposits = self.__totalDeposits + amount

    return self.__balance

def Withdrawal(self,amount):

    if (self.__balance >= amount):

        self.__balance = self.__balance - amount

        self.__numWithdrawals = self.__numWithdrawals + 1

        self.__totalWithdrawals = self.__totalWithdrawals + amount

        return True

    else:

        return False


def main():
accountlist=[]

numbers=eval(input())

for i in range(numbers):

    account=input()

    amount=eval(input())

    initial=BankAccount(account, amount)

    accountlist.append(initial)

    type=input()

    while type!='#':

        if type=='D':

            account=input()

            amount=eval(input())

            for i in range(len(accountlist())):

                if(account==accountlist[i].getbankaccount()):

                    index=i

                    accountlist[index].Deposit(amount)

                    Print(amount, type, account)

        type=input()
main()

Your problem is that in the line for i in range(len(accountlist())): you have accountlist(). accountlist is a list, and the () means you're trying to call it like you would a function. Change the line to for i in range(len(accountlist)): and you should be all set.

On a sidenote, it's easy to recognize your problem from your error:

 TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

is telling you exactly what you need to know: that you're trying to "call" a list on line 49. Learning to read error messages is an important and useful skill.
