Code not working, expecting program to print, but nothing is printed

Question

I have a file main.py containing this:

import misc

def do_meme(self, raw_args):
    misc.memes()

do_meme("hello world")

and a file misc.py containing this:

import random

def bitch_lasanga_func():
    print("""
  Now playing: Bitch Lasagna
  1:07  ●━━━━━━───────  2:15
  ⇆ㅤㅤㅤ◁ㅤㅤ❚❚ㅤㅤ▷ㅤㅤㅤ↻
    """)

memes_list = {
    "bitch_lasanga":bitch_lasanga_func,
}

def memes():
    memes_list[random.choice(list(memes_list))]

When i run the file main.py i would expect the output to be this:

   Now playing: Bitch Lasagna
   1:07  ●━━━━━━───────  2:15
   ⇆ㅤㅤㅤ◁ㅤㅤ❚❚ㅤㅤ▷ㅤㅤㅤ↻

But instead i don't get anything. Can anyone help me debug?

Should you have something like this: memes_list[random.choice(list(memes_list))]() ? the paraenthesis at the end to execute the method ? — Alan Kavanagh

Your function memes just outputs the function bitch_lasanga_func (typo btw) without calling it. You have to call it with ().

def memes():
    memes_list[random.choice(list(memes_list))]()
