初始化基本堆栈，但是我不理解错误

Question

i am trying to initialize a basic stack - with push, and pop function. the problems comes in while testing. you will notice in the code that i have pushed 2 times, so a print of the stack should display [5,5] whereas it is displaying None . I could tinker with the code to make it work eventually, but then i will not fully understand the underlying concepts and the error of my ways. so i ask for advice and pointers. please check out these codes and tell me what i am doing wrong.

this is the code with the class with all it's functions, it is named stack_class :

class Stack:

    def __init__(self):
        self._values = []
        print ('Stack initialized...')
        return

    def push(self, var):
        ok = self._values.append(var)
        return ok

    def pop(self):
        self.stack.pop()

    def __str__(self):
        output = "{0}".format(self.ok)
        return output

this is the testing code:

from stack_class import Stack

ob_1 = Stack()
ob_1.push(5)
print(ob_1.push(5))

What happens is that append method doesn't return anything.

print [].append(1)
>>> None

It does its job, but doesn't return anything, that's why you are getting None in variable ok . I think you want to return the _values instead:

def push(self, var):
    self._values.append(var)
    return self._values

Output:

Stack initialized...
[5, 5]

Also, it's the first time I read about empty return convention . It's not necessary.
