Will not print a list of items, only the first item on the list

Question

so for my project I am creating a media library that can hold books and movies, and there is a stock already held in. I am making a list for each item (because the assignment says to hard code every single one because we haven't learned another way yet, and the list is still only printing the first item the book about space or something. There are three files involved if the other ones are needed to run and see let me know.

from MediaItem import MediaItem


def initialize():
    """Declares the list all_items and adds
    the initial MediaItem objects.
    Note that these data would come from a database in real-world
    applications. The data would then be represented in the program
    as MediaItem objects as below.
    """
    all_items = []
    # item 1
    item = MediaItem()
    item.media = "Movie"
    item.title = "2001: A Space Odyssey"
    item.price = 11.99
    item.ref = "TU2RL012"
    item.director = "Stanley Kubrick"
    item.lead_actor = "Keir Dullea"
    all_items = all_items + [item]
    # item 2
    item = MediaItem()

Answer 1

In your code you have

item = MediaItem()
    item.media = "Movie"
    item.title = "2001: A Space Odyssey"
    item.price = 11.99
    item.ref = "TU2RL012"
    item.director = "Stanley Kubrick"
    item.lead_actor = "Keir Dullea"
    all_items = all_items + [item]

try replacing all_items = all_items + [item] with all_items.append([item]) Also you need to add that line for each item. In your current code you are only doing it once.
