My feedback is Bummer! Try again!. My code is working outside the test, but I still fail. What's wrong?

I believe that I got all the requirements, and has tested the code in workspace. But I still fail and get "Bummer! Try again!" What's wrong?

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

:point_right: "Working" is not the same as doing what was asked.

The challenge asks you to return certain values, not print them.
