Can anyone spot my mistake?

?

average.py 
def average(num_list):
    """Return the average for a list of numbers

    >>>num_list = [1,2]
    >>>average(num_list)
    1.5

    """
    return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)

try this... and see the changes.

def average(num_list):
    """Return the average for a list of numbers

    >>> average([1,2])
    1.5

    """
    return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)
