Return in python 3

Question

I am creating a function in python3 and a question arose about the use of Return, when we call him in the code he must terminate the function immediately?

In the code below this is not working, even when the if is satisfied, it finishes the entire loop of the code, to then give the return.

def find_msg_by_parameter(parameter, search_term, email_folder):
    client = client_connect()
    results = client.users().messages().list(userId='me', labelIds = [email_folder]).execute()
    for id_mail in results['messages']:
        id_msg = client.users().messages().get(userId='me', id=id_mail['id']).execute()
        id_msg_df = pd.DataFrame(id_msg['payload']['headers'])
        msg_header = id_msg_df[id_msg_df.name==parameter].value.iloc[0]
        if check_name(search_term,msg_header):
            return id_mail
        print('Buscando')
    print('Não encontrado')

The function check_name returns a boolean.

Answer 1

The Return closes the execution of the current function.

Do some tests to see the behavior of Return.. For example:

def test_return(var1, var2):
    print("Entrou")
    if var1 < var2:
        return "Menor"
    else:
        print("Maior")
    print("Depois do if")
    return "Saiu"

print(test_return(1, 2))
print("\n Chama a funcao novamente: \n")
print(test_return(3, 2))
