As much use as a chocolate teapot, all you've given is a function/method 
definition.  No indication of your OS, Python version, calling code, 
what you expect to happen, what actually happened, apart from that your 
request for assistance is perfect.  Usually I'd be able to help but 
sadly my crystal ball is in for repairs at the moment.  Would you please 
be kind enough to elucidate.
