Pylint: Disable Unnecessary "else" after "return" (no-else-return) warning

Question

I'm looking through my RC file and I can't for the life of me, find which one of these variables disables that feature.

I searched for "if", "else" and "return" and I didn't see anything. Unless I've missed it.

Thanks.

More Info

What I'm putting into the terminal

pylint --rcfile=.pylintrc Test.py

Test code

""" Module Docstring """

def IS_POSITIVE(number):
    """ detects positive """
    if number > 0:
        return "+++"
    else:
        return "---"


print IS_POSITIVE(3)

The print out

Answer 1

In this particular case you could be better off using a ternary operator.

def is_positive(number):
    return "+++" if number > 0 else "---"

Answer 2

You should add no-else-return to the comma separated list of disabled options in the disable setting in your .pylintrc file.

Also see the Pylint docs:
http://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/technical_reference/features.html#messages-control-options

Answer 3

You are looking for no-else-return (R1705). Just add these to your .pylintrc:

[REFACTORING]
no-else-return=no
