Thanks for pointing out the missing parenthesis, it makes sense now why there was an error.
I suppose my question now is (and forgive my ignorance about classes, this is my first time learning them) why is it calling Athlete with some arguments? In order to make a class object, don't you need to create an instance by assigning a class to something? like: x = Athlete(temp1.pop(0),temp1.pop(0),temp1) can a similar line look like this?: temp1.pop(0) = Athlete(temp1.pop(0),temp1) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
