can't we return list in python?

Question

I'm just started learning python.. How to return list? Is here any error in code.?

def fibonocci(x,i):
    if len(lst)>=x:
        return lst
    v=lst[i-1]+lst[i-2]
    lst.append(v)
    fibonocci(x,i+1)

n=int(input("Enter a number: "))
lst=[0,1]
print(fibonocci(n,2))

I mean what is the scenario making this to can not return..? — mani kumar, Jul 06 '16 at 14:20
There's nothing that makes it *"can not return"*, but you **don't actually `return`**. It's not a fundamental problem, just something you haven't done. — jonrsharpe, Jul 06 '16 at 14:20

You don't return anything in case len(lst) < x.

You should change fibonocci(x, i+1) to return fibonocci(x, i+1).
