Is there anything missing in my code?

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

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

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

You are very close. Two issues to fix:

  • do not create a temp variable for the results of the function call. Only use the function and its arguments
  • a space is needed between the prompt >>> and the code

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
