Python Basics- Unable to create variable with array

I am unable to create this variable/array in the Treehouse console:

mt_list = [1, 2.5, 'a']

The console returns -bash: my_list command not found

Anyone else encounter this issue?

Thanks!

Hi, Are you in python interactive shell? Looks like you're trying to use python code in plain unix bash shell... Enter python shell by typing python first.
