__init__ method that returns a value
Reports occurrences of return statements with a return value inside __init__ methods of classes.
Example:
class Sum:
def __init__(self, a, b):
self.a = a
self.b = b
self.sum = a + b
return self.sum
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.
