Still getting the error

When I try to execute this it shows 'sundaes' should be a list. Any idea ?

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')

This is the code I used for all three step in the challenge, and all the items passed. Hope it helps.

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';') # step 1
menu =  "Our available flavors are: {}." # step 2
menu = menu.format(', '.join(sundaes)) # step 3
