[Zope] Python Script control flow question

[H.de.Wit@SFK.NL]

Hello,

This should be terribly simple, but i just don't see how it should be.
I have a python script, it handels the output of a SQL statement with a
SELECT COUNT in it.
It tests the case that the count is zero (and that there is no record in
the SQLresult).

This is my idea how it should be:
SQLresult=container.SQL_statement()
if (not SQLresult):
   resultcount=0
else:
   resultcount=SQLres[0][0]
return resultcount

This doesn't return a value if the resultcount is 0, nothing seem to happen
during testing the python script.
It works fine if the resultcount>0

This however is a working script
SQLresult=container.SQL_statement()
if (not SQLresult):
   resultcount=0
   print resultcount
   return printed
else:
   resultcount=SQLres[0][0]
   return resultcount

It is ugly, but it works. Is it possible to remove the print resultatcount
and the return printed somehow?
