I'd say "use_" rather than "has_"; every (returning) function has a return value! But I figured that a function that doesn't return is pointless in this context so "returns" could only reasonably be interpreted to mean "use the return value", as in "returns <...>" "result" can be a synonym for "return value" also. a. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
