Why does the break statement not work here?

Question

I just wanna preface this by saying that I'm a beginner and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question/obvious mistake.

I'm making a human vs computer tic tac toe game , and the break statement is not breaking the innermost loop. The problem arises in the very last loop where even if the human wins , the if conditon below it is not executed. It goes on to play the computer's move and THEN declare that the computer has won.

please do inform me if I should change or add something to my question.

Thank You

Instead of if wincon==True: it should be if wincon()==True:, you're calling a function, not reading a boolean.
