TypeError: 'set' object is not callable

There seems to be an error with the Python Console in Workspaces. At the very first step in this video, I fail as the console throws the error described above. This is after I call set1 = set(range(10)). Do I need to import anything?

I was not able to replicate the error. Here's what I got n the workspace:

treehouse:~/workspace$ python

I've now got that. It seemed to be a minor bug with the workspace instance which was solved by refreshing the page!
