AttributeError: 'ModuleScope' object has no attribute 'returnValue'

[keul]

Running the pyflakes checker on a code I get this:

  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyflakes-0.8.1-py2.6.egg/pyflakes/api.py", line 88, in checkPath
    return check(codestr, filename, reporter)

    w = checker.Checker(tree, filename)

    if node.value and not self.scope.returnValue:
AttributeError: 'ModuleScope' object has no attribute 'returnValue'

Unluckily I'm not able to check the code that raise the error (it's a 3rd party legacy code full of errors).

I skipped the issue changing the line 696 to:

    if node.value and hasattr(self.scope, 'returnValue') and not self.scope.returnValue:

[Florent (florent.x)]

I can reproduce this case with the following (invalid) snippet:

class Foo(object):
    return

All versions of Python.

I have created a pull request to work on this https://github.com/pyflakes/pyflakes/pull/13

It looks like code on master already handles this condition so I think that we should not merge pull #13 but just close this tickets as solved.

Thanks!

I hit the same error... can we get a new release please? I see that there are quite a few changes pending to be released...
