I fail to grasp the unpredictability of "the last expression evaluated in the body of a function is its return value".
It's unpredictable in the sense that if you're writing a function that's not intended to return a value, you're not thinking about what the last call you make in the function returns, so to a first approximation it's just some random value. I often write code that makes use of the fact that falling off the end of a function returns None. This has been a documented part of the Python language from the beginning, and changing it would break a lot of code for no good reason. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
