Arguably, if a function just does a "return", it should be an error to try to use its return value.
It's been suggested at least once before that the default return value for a function should be some special value that raises an exception if you try to do anything with it except throw it away. Unfortunately, the existence of such a value would cause headaches for things like debuggers that need to be able to deal with anything at all without blowing up. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
