[BangPypers] Why the None ?

[Mehndi, Sibtey]

Any python function by default return None in your gimmetaste function you are not returning any value. That's why gimmetaste returns None

Hi, I'm trying to pass 5 as default value for this function...

------------------------------------------------
def gimmetaste(length=5):
        print length

if __name__ == '__main__':
        print gimmetaste()
------------------------------------------------

Output -
5
None

I wonder why I get a None in the output?
