Difference between list() and [] with dictionaries

[Sam Tregar]

Hello all.  Can anyone explain why this creates a list containing a
dictionary:

  [{'a': 'b', 'foo': 'bar'}]

But this creates a list of keys of the dictionary:

  list({ "a": "b", "foo": "bar" })

I expected them to be equivalent but clearly they're not!  I'm using Python
2.6.1 if that helps.
