Description

For example:
https://github.com/DoReCo/multitool/blob/6791f54616f7f1df2b7349b05c93275c678e857a/conversion_data/interface/Collection.py#L69

In the Python language `list` is a built in name that will create a list data type. When you create a method that has `list` as a parameter name the semantics of using `list` inside that method changes from the default and thereby makes it harder for other people to understand what that code does. Using a different variable name would likely be a better option.
