if you leave out the return statement, Python automagically inserts a "return
None"
at the end of your method.
and the __iadd__ documentation says:
These methods are called to implement the augmented arithmetic operations
(+=, -=, *=, /=, %=, **=, <<=, >>=, &=, ^=, |=). These methods should
attempt to do the operation in-place (modifying self) and return the result
(which could be, but does not have to be, self).
in other words, it works exactly as documented. you return None, you get None.
