python - BubbleSort with recursion in Python3 - Returning "None"

Question

I created a small function to do BubbleSort (just learning how to code) in Python 3 and I can't find the issue.

Here is the code. It's returning "None" for some reason. Could someone please take a look? Thank you!

arr = [1,5,2,7,3]

def bubbleSort(array):
    count = 0
    #print("array is currently",array)
    for idx in range(len(array)-1):
        if array[idx] > array[idx + 1]:
            array[idx],array[idx + 1] = array[idx + 1],array[idx]
            count += 1
            #print("swaped and count is currently",count)
            #print("array is currently",array)
    if count == 0:
        #print("Count is zero")
        #print("array is currently",array)
        return array
    else:
        #print("Count is not zero")
        bubbleSort(array)

print(bubbleSort(arr))

You need to return the sorted array

arr = [1,5,2,7,3]

def bubbleSort(array):
    count = 0
    #print("array is currently",array)
    for idx in range(len(array)-1):
        if array[idx] > array[idx + 1]:
            array[idx],array[idx + 1] = array[idx + 1],array[idx]
            count += 1
            #print("swaped and count is currently",count)
            #print("array is currently",array)
    if count == 0:
        #print("Count is zero")
        #print("array is currently",array)
        return array
    else:
        #print("Count is not zero")
        return bubbleSort(array)

print(bubbleSort(arr))
