bug with problem

I keep getting the error :" didn't find 'my_list' "

I've tried several possible solutions including declaring it before adding items with no success.

seems like a bug to me

lists.py 
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 'a', 'b', [1, 2]]

I have the same problem with the next list objective problem after this one.

this being the task :

Create a list named "best" that has three items in it. The items can be anything you want.

I input :

best = [] best = [ 1, 2, 3]

returns with :

Bummer: You didn't create the best variable?

I tried appending and extending to a blank list but no success

Hey everyone, thanks for posting and helping make us aware of the problem!

A fix was pushed and the issue should be resolved now.

But definitely do not hesitate to post about it again, if you run into anymore Code Challenge issues.
