Does the main script print() the returned values? Python doesn't
output stuff unless you explicitly ask it to (except when you're using
the REPL). Show us your main script, or at least the part of it where
utc_to_local() is called.

It already does that. The problem must lie with the caller (i.e. the
main script).
