__init__ method that returns a value

Warning

Reports occurrences of return statements with a return value inside __init__ methods of classes.

Example:

A constructor should not return any value. The __init__ method should only initialize the values of instance members for news objects.

As a quick-fix, the IDE offers to remove the return statement.
