So what did you expect it to do?
All that does is define a function (binding the name "print_time" to a
compiled function object), and that function itself returns nothing IF
invoked (you haven't invoked it). (Presuming time has been imported, the
function will bind the name "current_time" to a string representation of
the current time... and then throws away "current_time" when the function
falls off the end and returns to the caller.)
I don't know if that is the correct way as I am just using the code from
the project I am trying to do
This is showing a severe lack of understanding in how Python itself
operates, leading me to recommend rereading a Python tutorial book before
attempting to hack into some one else's code.
Err, excuse me, I was not attempting to hack into someone else's code.
As the code is in the public domain, I wanted it to work as is, like it
did for the author, without changing anything.
So why should I now start to learn how python works.
If the code doesn't work for me after a fair trial, I'll move on to
something else.
