Question

Setting variables as returned lists from functions that contain variables as a returned list doesn’t seem to give me any output:

def get_wordlist(num, s):
    items_in_wordlist = database_get(num)
    print "Trying to get wordlist..."
    print items_in_wordlist
    items = []
    if s == 0:
        for item in items_in_wordlist:
            items.append((item[1]).decode("hex"))
        return items
    elif s == 1:
        for item in items_in_wordlist:
            items.append((item[2]).decode("hex"))
        return items

def get_wordlist_set(self, speed):
    global main_wordlist, main_wordlist_e
    print "Getting wordlist set..."
    #try:
    main_wordlist   = get_wordlist(speed, 1)
    print "Check (1) - Passed"
    main_wordlist_e = get_wordlist(speed, 0)
    print "Check (2) - Passed"
    return main_wordlist

“Check (*) – Passed” should be printed to the screen. However, All I am getting is “Getting wordlist set…” Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong?

As sandinmyjoints says, if you are seeing

Getting wordlist set...

But not

Trying to get wordlist...

It looks like

database_get(num)

isn’t returning. It could also be that the same function name is used for a different function elsewhere. It might be a good idea to put a print before the call to database_get
