This is why -

if __name__ == '__main__':
      print 'Simple pointInPoly() test...'

      poly = [(-1,-1), (6,-1), (5,6), (0,5)]
      point_inside_polygon(3,10,poly)

And you were expecting to see a True/False as to whether or not the
point was inside the polygon right, as point_inside_polygon() returns
True/False...

Try changing it to -

if __name__ == '__main__':
      print 'Simple pointInPoly() test...'

      poly = [(-1,-1), (6,-1), (5,6), (0,5)]
      if point_inside_polygon(3,10,poly):
          print "Point is inside polygon"
      else:
          print "Point is not inside polygon"
