Check out the following quick script I have:

def initialize(context):  
    context.stocks = [sid(24), sid(42000)]  
    context.weights = [0.5,0.5]  
# Will be called on every trade event for the securities you specify.  
def handle_data(context, data):  
    if not get_open_orders():  
        print "no open order START"  
    else:  
        print "open order START"  
    for index in range(len(context.stocks)):  
        if context.stocks[index] not in context.portfolio.positions:  
            order_target_percent(context.stocks[index],context.weights[index])  
            if not get_open_orders(context.stocks[index]):  
                print "no open IN LOOP"  
            else:  
                print "open order IN LOOP"  

You would think that at the end, for the section:

            else:  
                print "open order IN LOOP"  

It would actually print something to the log, however, it never does! However, print "open order START" does print to the console! This has been bugging me for hours now and I can't figure out what is going on.
