Usually please state your OS and Python versions, what you expected to
happen, what actually happened and the full traceback if applicable. In
this case I'd hazard a guess that as you're trying to print something
that evaluates to false you're not likely to see much. You can also
remove the semicolons as they're simply not needed.
