Python Python Basics (2015) Number Game App Even or Odd

Am I missing something?

The code challenge wants a function to return of True if a number is even or False if it is odd. I wrote a tiny program to test to see if my function works, it appears to work fine, but the code challenge isn't accepting it as correct.

def even_odd(number):
    if number %2 == 0:
        print("True")
    else:
        print("False")

while True:
    number = int(input("Enter a number to see if it is even: "))

    even_odd(number)
even.py 
def even_odd(number):
    if number %2 == 0:
        print("True")
    else:
        print("False")

Although your code is checking for odd or even, you need to return boolean values, not print strings.
