list comprehension question

[Mike C. Fletcher]

x is a list of range(2,12) for the 1 element in list.  Lists don't have 
a ** (number) operator defined.

try "print list" to see what's going on.
 >>> list = [range(2, 12)]
 >>> print list
[[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]]
 >>>

BTW, it's good practice not to name variables after the builtin 
functions/types (such as list).

HTH,
Mike
