When in run my python script, i get the following result:

Try again

None

import wikipedia
import time


def wiki_search(word):
    try:
        wikipedia.set_lang("es")
        wiki_result = wikipedia.summary(word, sentences=1, auto_suggest=True,   redirect=True)
        return wiki_result
    except wikipedia.exceptions.WikipediaException as e:
        return translate(e)
    
def translate(text):
   if "match" in str(text):
       print "Try again"
   else:
       print text

print wiki_search("Mark Zuckerb")
time.sleep(5)

Why "None" appear and how to remove it from the output?

The function translate(text) returns None because it has no return statement that is reached when it is called. Every function ends with an implicit return None.
