Defining functions in Python

I have a Python code like this,

def cube(n):
    n = n * n * n
    return n

    def by_three(n):
        if (n % 3 == 0):
         print "number is divisible by three"
         cube(n)
         return n
        else:
            print "number is not  divisible by three"
            return False

Currently I am not able to return any value, please let me know what is the issue?

You do not set the value of cube(n) in your by_three function to return.

def cube(n):
    result = n ** 3 # You can use ** for powers.
    return result

def by_three(n):
    if (n % 3 == 0):
        print "number is divisible by three"
        result = cube(n)
        return result
    else:
        print "number is not  divisible by three"
        return False

I am also assuming that you have made a mistake in your indentation when copying to SO. If that is not the case, and that is your original indentation, then you will need to rectify that also.
