title: Error message "TypeError: descriptor 'append' requires a 'list' object but received a 'dict'"
body: <p>In the <em>for</em> loop I have a dictionary object like this:</p>
  <pre><code>mob1 = {
      &quot;Item&quot;: item1,
      'Price': price1,
      'Desc': desc1
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>And I tried to append it like:</p>
  <pre><code>list.append(mob1)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
