Why is this a problem?

It *could* indicate a mistake. Lint programs, by definition, are 
nitpicky, and flag things that are possible problems even though 
syntactically correct.


I'm overriding the method to add additional
functionality.

This
     def GetRays(self, angle, pt, lmbda = 0.6):
         """
         """

         angle, x, y, Rays, Power = self.ARefract(angle, pt[0], pt[1],
lmbda)
         pt1 = (x, y)

         return Rays, Power, angle, pt1


     def ARefract(self, angle, x, y, lmbda = 0.6):
         """
         """

         Nt = self.Mat.NtGet(lmbda)
         self.NtSet(Nt)
         angle, x, y, Rays, Power = self.Refract(angle, x, y)

         return angle, x, y, Rays, Power



Over rides this

     def GetRays(self, angle, pt):
         """
         """

         angle, x, y, Rays, Power = self.Refract(angle, pt[0], pt[1])
         pt1 = (x, y)

         return Rays, Power, angle, pt1


Thanks
