It doesn't -- the value 'True' or 'False' is simply returned, and
assigned to a name if the calling function does so explicitly. But
there's no built in affects. If you want it to alter the execution, you
have to do so yourself, i.e.:
def myfun():
return True
def myfun2():
return False
if myfun():
print "Something is true!"
myfun2()
print "I'm called. Cuz, the return value of myfun2 was simply discarded."
