Store Sys

I've tried to create a store system which I think would work good except that my function gets an error. (The function is called store and it's at the end of the file)

My code: https://w.trhou.se/j2gevv32wy (Look at the end for the store function)

Whenever I try to buy an item from the weapon I get this error:

TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not subscriptable

I don't really know what that means so i'm asking you, treehouse community what the problem is.

Instead of subscripting the built-in append function:

            PlayerIG.weap.append[option]

:point_right: You probably want to invoke it and pass an argument:

            PlayerIG.weap.append(option)

(parentheses vs. brackets)

Also, it would seem more intuitive to select the item by number, as with the other inputs.
