String conditioning not working

Hi,

I really don't get it why this code is not getting accepted. It works just fine in the IDLE.

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

The challenge wants you to return a value, not print it.
