You don't need to explicitly specify a return when working with a
session. Either of the following should work.
#+BEGIN_SRC python :session test :file "images/test.png"
from pylab import *
plot(rand(10))
savefig('images/test.png')
#+END_SRC
or
#+BEGIN_SRC python :session test :results file
from pylab import *
plot(rand(10))
savefig('images/test.png')
'images/test.png'
#+END_SRC
Hope this helps,
