The spacing of the functions inside the source file has nothing 
to do with the output.

Python reads the input file, ignores any spacing and executes 
any lines it recognises as code.

If you want to separatye the output you need to insert some space. 
You are in complete control, the computer is not intelligent 
enough to deduce that you want the two outputs separated.
You need to tell it to print some empty space.

One way to do that is by printing newline charactrs('\n')
To print 5 newlines you can do this: print '\n' * 5

add 
print '\n' * 3 
here

Should result in:
I'm first call to user defined function!
Again second call to the same function



valuse outside the function: [10, 20, 30]
values inside this function: [10, 20, 30]
