Functions - Prime Check in Python3 Returns Multiple Values

[paper-skyline]

In Python3.7, entering this function and passing the number 5 to the function results in multiple return values of "True". What's causing that?

def is_prime(num):
    '''
    Naive method of checking for primes. 
    '''
    for n in range(2,num):
        if num % n == 0:
            print 'not prime'
            break
    else: # If never mod zero, then prime
        print 'prime'

>>> is_prime(5)
prime
prime
prime

this can only happen if while originally testing your function looked like

def is_prime(num):
    '''
    Naive method of checking for primes. 
    '''
    for n in range(2,num):
        if num % n == 0:
            print 'not prime'
            break
        else: # If never mod zero, then prime
            print 'prime'

instead of

def is_prime(num):
    '''
    Naive method of checking for primes. 
    '''
    for n in range(2,num):
        if num % n == 0:
            print 'not prime'
            break
    else: # If never mod zero, then prime
        print 'prime'

Note the indentation of the else clause.
