not passing spec. Tested code in workspace and it works

tested a string with length > 5 and prints, tested string with length < 5 and prints, and returns True if string length == 5

strlen.py 
def just_right(string):
    if len(string) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short") 
    elif len(string) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long")
    else:
        return True

Its correct, just return instead of printing the string.

def just_right(string):
    if len(string) < 5:
        return "Your string is too short" 
    elif len(string) > 5:
        return "Your string is too long"
    else:
        return True
