Because of how we test doctests, you'll need to leave a blank line at the end of your doctest before the closing quotes.
So your code would work if you put that blank line in. It's a workspaces thing.
def average(num_list):
"""Return the average for a list of numbers
>>> average([1, 2])

"""
return sum(num_list) / len(num_list)

3,437 PointsHey! Nathan
I had figured it out..
The issue was there was a blank space before "1.5".
I was able to solve the code challenge.
Nonetheless, thank you for responding.
