buttt | Gives you a string

Im trying out pygame for the first time, now ive gotten very comfortable with python as a language, and ive been trying to recreate Pong, like the old school game with 2 paddles and a ball. I cant seem to figure out how to get the ball to reflect off the paddle. Im not looking for angles and stuff yet, cos ill be able to figure that out on my own.

Buttt what ive thought of is to get a range of coordinates, which are the X & Y of the paddle and the x & y + the width and height, and if the ball enters these, it simply reflects as it does at a boundary. Ive tried doing multiple if statements, as you can see in the code below, but ive also tried doing it as a single statement, but that doesnt work. None of the debug prints ive put in actually print, but when i test the coord ranges with print they look fine :D

Ill paste my code here so you guys can run my game as is.

Id really appreciate your guys help!
