[Python-ideas] Re: "return if <expression>"

This is very personal preference I don't feel it pythonic but... Ruby make return keywork optional so is very idiomatic (in Ruby) to have multiple onliner early return with this kind of guards at beginning of methods and a "main" case below

For me this is just eye preference, we have eyes trained to extract what is important when reading code. There is no absolute more readable that works for everyone

IMHO return if cond is more scannable than

if cond: return

Which need eye to scroll to next line

Here is an example of the use case that I'm talking about

def foo(): if a: return if B: return if C: return

do_stuff()

Vs

def foo(): return if a return if B return if C do_stuff

The second is much more compact

And

if A: return

Well, I'm strongly against these non-indented blocks in python
