Your answer was very close, but you have an indent error which was causing all odds to appear prime. Note the return True line has been moved back 1 indent. You were only testing the first 'i' in range(2, num+1) and returning True if it was not divisible by 2.

def isPrime(num):
    if num == 2:
        return True
    for i in range(2, num):
        if num%i==0:
            return False
    return True



for i in range(1, 20):
    if isPrime(i + 1):
        print(i + 1, end=" ")
    print()

Another small error was testing from [2, num] inclusive. num % num == 0 will always be True and so it will think 4 % 4 is prime. You need to test [2, num-1]. (actually you only really need to test [2, int(sqrt(num) + 1] I believe.)


Output:

2 
3 

5 

7 



11 

13 



17 

19
