def x(y):
    if not y:
        return
    return None  # error!

• R502 do not implicitly return None in function able to return non-None value.

def x(y):
    if not y:
        return  # error!
    return 1

• R503 missing explicit return at the end of function able to return non-None value.

def x(y):
    if not y:
        return 1
    # error!

• R504 unecessary variable assignement before return statement.

def x():
    a = 1
    # some code that not using `a`
    print('test')
    return a  # error!

Returns in asyncio coroutines also supported.
