Yet another " Can't get length of 'Hand' " error

I've looked at other questions on this topic but I still haven't found a correct solution. Can anyone give me some insight into what is wrong with the code that I have here? Thanks!

dice.py
import random


class Die:
    def __init__(self, sides=2):
        if sides < 2:
            raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
        self.sides = sides
        self.value = random.randint(1, sides)

    def __int__(self):
        return self.value

    def __add__(self, other):
        return int(self) + other

    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self + other

class D20(Die):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(sides=20)
hands.py
from dice import D20

class Hand(list):
    @property
    def total(self):
        return sum(self)

    @classmethod
    def roll(cls, num_dice):
        die_list = []
        for _ in num_dice:
            new_die = D20()
            die_list.append(new_die)

        return cls(die_list)

Your code would work if you fix this line:

for _ in range(num_dice):

Thank you for your input! The change seems to have gotten it to work!
