When you run that code as a script, it does call your
convert_proctors() function.  But since all you do is create a list,
and you never save it to disk, or print it to the screen, or even
assign it to a variable, the result is just thrown away.  Try changing
the last line to:

print(convert_proctors())

and you'll see the results you were expecting.
