Its all green forv me too and it runs perfectly - as in it does
absolutly nothing.


And if I add print('hello world') at the end it prionts ok too.

I even tried assigning your docsstring to a variable and printing
that and it too worked.

Linux Mint 17
Python 3.4.3
IDLE 3

So I don't think this is your entire problem. Maybe you should
show us some code that actually causes the error?

As above, it runs silently for me.
