Unless it raises an exception.

Very possibly, but this is Victor you're talking too, and as far as I can 
tell he hasn't shown his actual code. For all we know he has something 
like this:

alist = [1, 2, 3]
try:
    result = alist[100]
except:
    pass
print result


See? Nothing is returned as the result.
