Python's return has nothing to do with with gosub ... return in Basic. I
believe the analog to Python's
return <some-value>
in VB is
<function-name> = <some-value>
exit function
I. e.
Function f(a, b)
If a > b Then
f = 42
Exit Function
End If
f = a + b
End Function
translates to
def f(a, b):
if a > b:
return 42
return a + b
in Python.
