Python - List and Loop in one def

I'm trying to get the def wfsc_pod1 and wfsc_ip into the same def. I'm not quite sure how to approach the problem. I want wfsc_pod1 to display all the information for name, subnet and gateway. Then wfsc_ip shows the ip addresses below it. I also get a None value when I run it as it. Not sure why. Anything more pythonic is more appreciated.

class OutageAddress:
    subnet = ["255.255.255.0", "255.255.255.1"]

    # Gateway order is matched wi开发者_开发知识库th names
    gateway = ["192.168.1.1", "192.168.1.2", "192.168.1.3", "192.168.1.4",
                "192.168.1.5", "192.168.1.6", "192.168.1.7", "192.168.1.8",
                "192.168.1.9"]

    name = ["LOC1", "LOC2", "LOC3", "LOC4",
                "LOC5", "LOC6", "LOC7", "LOC8",
                "LOC9"]

    def wfsc_pod1(self):
        wfsc_1 = "%s\t %s\t %s\t" % (network.name[0],network.subnet[0],network.gateway[0])
        return wfsc_1

    def wfsc_ip(self):
        for ip in range(100,110):
            ip = "192.168.1."+str(ip)
            print ip

network = OutageAddress()
print network.wfsc_pod1()
print network.wfsc_ip()

First of all, you probably meant to write wfsc_pod1 like this:

def wfsc_pod1(self):
    return "%s\t%s\t%s" % (self.name[0], self.subnet[0], self.gateway[0])

and call wfsc_ip like this:

network.wfsc_ip() # no print

If you want to combine wfsc_pod1 and wfsc_ip, you can do this:

def wfsc_combined(self):
    output = []
    output.append("%s\t%s\t%s" % (self.name[0], self.subnet[0], self.gateway[0]))
    for ip in range(100,110):
        output.append("192.168.1.%d" % ip)
    return '\n'.join(output)

and call this function with a print statement.

However, a better approach (IMO) would be to add print statements inside wfsc_combined and call it without a print statement:

def wfsc_combined(self):
    print "%s\t%s\t%s" % (self.name[0], self.subnet[0], self.gateway[0])
    for ip in range(100,110):
        print "192.168.1.%d" % ip

OutageAddress.wfsc_ip returns None because it has no return statement.

You get a None because that is what wfsc_ip returns. Functions/methods that don't return anything else return None.

You get None from print network.wfsc_ip() because wfsc_ip doesn't return anything, which is the same thing as returning None -- what else did you expect to get from printing the value of a function that just doesn't return anything?!

You seem to be in thrall to a deep confusion between displaying stuff (e.g. with print statements, as wfsc_ip does) and returning information, as wfsc_pod1 does. Until and unless you clarify that confusion, nobody can really help you much.
