Why does python skip my function?
<p>When I input this:</p>

<pre><code>def tablesUsed():
    "Return which multiplication tables to use"
    tablesUsed = [int(x) for x in input("Please choose which multiplication tables you   wish\nto practice, then type them like this: 2 5 10.\n").split()]
</code></pre>

<p>python skips over the function to the next line. What is going on?</p>
