Parentheses keep kicking up "invalid typecast"

[Jim Mooney]

If I do something as simple as:
x = print(len(lst))

I get Two "invalid typecast" windows coming up. One for the print(), then one for the lst(), as soon as the parenthesis autocompletes. How do I fix this? Tks.

Update - it gets worse. If I use a method, like swapList.append() it kicks up "invalid type cast" on every other letter after the dot.
