There’s no return in your function so it implicitly returns None.

#3

I don’t understand where I use return?

#4

In your test you have this line:

assert lexicon.scan('north') == [('direction','north')]

That does three things:

  1. Call lexicon.scan with ‘north’
  2. Compare the return from the lexicon.scan function to the [(‘direction’,‘north’]) expected result.
  3. Use assert the raise an error when this isn’t true.

Most likely your lexicon.scan function isn’t returning properly, so you get a None value, and assert is telling you that None does not equal [(‘direction’,‘north’]).
