Neither do shifting goalposts.
It's not a shifting goalpost. My original statement was that:
def foo():
raise Exception
defines a function which 1) has no explicit return statement and 2) does
not return None. I stand by that statement. There is no possible
codepath, no possible calling sequence, no possible execution
environment, which will cause that function to return None. That fact
that one particular Python implementation happens to produce unreachable
bytecode for returning None is meaningless. Would you say that:
def baz():
return None
print "I got here"
is a function which prints "I got here"?
Game, set and match to Roy Smith? :)
