Python Quickselect not printing/returning pivot

Here is the code for quickselect

def quickSelect(lst, k):
if len(lst) != 0:
    pivot = lst[(len(lst)) // 2]
    smallerList = []
    for i in lst:
        if i < pivot:
            smallerList.append(i)
    largerList = []
    for i in lst:
        if i > pivot:
            largerList.append(i)
    count = len(lst) - len(smallerList) - len(largerList)
    m = len(smallerList)
    if k >= m and k < m + count:
        return pivot
        print(pivot)
    elif m > k:
        return quickSelect(smallerList, k)
    else:
        return quickSelect(largerList, k-m-count)

the issue I am having with it is that it runs with no errors or anything, but when it completes itself I am expecting it to output something to the python shell (in this specific case a median of a list), but I get nothing back. Am I doing something wrong here?

As for what I am inputting for lst and k....

lst = [70, 120, 170, 200]
k = len(lst) // 2

I have tried it with a few different k values as well but to no avail

Solution

def quickSelect(lst, k):
    if len(lst) != 0:
        pivot = lst[(len(lst)) // 2]
        smallerList = []
        for i in lst:
            if i < pivot:
                smallerList.append(i)
        largerList = []
        for i in lst:
            if i > pivot:
                largerList.append(i)
        count = len(lst) - len(smallerList) - len(largerList)
        m = len(smallerList)
        if k >= m and k < m + count:
            return pivot
            print(pivot)
        elif m > k:
            return quickSelect(smallerList, k)
        else:
            return quickSelect(largerList, k-m-count)

lst = [70, 120, 170, 200]
k = len(lst) // 2

print(quickSelect(lst, k))

produces

>>> 170

The only thing I corrected was the indenting.
