string length challenge ...

I don't know why is the challenge saying " Bummer! Try again " cause I run the code in pycharm and everything worked fine... Maybe I'm missing something in the explanation?

Thanks, Idan. ^-^

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

Your code is correct, but you're not actually returning what the challenge asked for. Try removing the print() functions from your returns.
