Ah, but you're adding his new objects to a list now.  Not top
level.  names is top-level, but the new objects inside are not.
How do you add his named objects at the same level as your
names variable?

You printed the list contents, which isn't that different
from adding objects to a dictionary (what I suggested
doing).  The challenge is to use a raw_input loop to
create user-named objects that are not contained inside
any list, tuple or map.

It's not that you're doing anything wrong.  I'm just trying
to make clear the distinction between creating new variables
at the top level, versus inside a program-provided data
structure.
