R. David Murray added the comment:
Thanks for wanting to improve Python. However, the purpose of those function
is to *print* the result. They intentionally do not have return values.
All of the values that you would have these functions return are accessible via
attributes already.
New submission from Mihály Mirk:
The functions:
filecmp.dircmp.report()
filecmp.dircmp.report_partial_closure()
filecmp.dircmp.report_full_closure()
do not have return values
