I believe the problem is line 21: for pirates in pirates:. You use the plural form for both the looping variable and the thing looped over. So at the end, pirates is equal to the last pirate: 'Edward Blackbeard Teach'. So you should switch that loop to:

for pirate in pirates:
    print pirates

You should also switch to Python 3. At the end of the year support for 2.7 will stop.
