A list is in square brackets. Round brackets denote a tuple (I assume).

Try comp = ["ryan, 1, "zaid", 2, "peter", 3]

Velocity, stop. Really, stop. This is the Python forum, there is no Turing Help post template...

RyGuy-Anime: The main difference between tuples and lists is that tuples are immutable (they can't be modified after being initialized) while lists are mutable (you can add and remove elements freely). That's also why your immutable tuple doesn't have a method to insert.
