return didn't return. Windows api

Here's my code. When I run it the return statement doesn't return anything. Anyone know why?

import win32api as win
import time
import sys
def mouse_path(run):
    path = []
    while time.clock() < run:
        cords = (win.GetCursorPos())
        time.sleep(.1)
        path.append(cords)
    return path

mouse_path(10)

It looks like you are running this from a .py file and not in interactive mode. Objects that come back from a return statement are not displayed except in interactive mode. Try wrapping the returned values in a print statement. 

import win32api as win
import time
import sys
def mouse_path(run):
    path = []
    while time.clock() < run:
        cords = (win.GetCursorPos())
        time.sleep(.1)
        path.append(cords)
    return path

print(mouse_path(10))

I ran it and this was printed to screen:
