I managed to find the culprit. The function before it had a mismatched parentheses. So it would continue reading this function and fail on compilation. Thanks for all your replies. The append works, although if this is a new user and no list has been defined yet it won't. So I check if it returns None, set the list to [] and then have the append statement. I thought all the vars would be initialized by default so a list type would return [] if it wasn't set in the form.
Another thing I learned is the fact that the function must receive one argument (form). Thanks again for the wonderful support.
