If only affects the calling function if you use the return value:

def foo():
     return True

def bar1():
     foo() # nothing difference, whether foo() returns True or False

def bar2()
   if foo():
       print "foo returned True or any other non-false value"
   else:
       print "foo returned False or any other non-True value"
