[New-bugs-announce] [issue38218] SyntaxError in Tutorial 8.6 Defining Clean-up Actions

[Jason Plurad]

New submission from Jason Plurad <pluradj at gmail.com>:

The second code example in Tutorial section 8.6 defines the function:

def bool_return(): -> bool:

which throws a SyntaxError: invalid syntax

If the function wants to use a return annotation, there should not be a colon after the function name. I have a pull request ready for this.
