I ran these queries on cpython repo. ➜ cpython git:(master) ✗ grep -r . -e return --include=\.py \| grep NotImplemented \| wc -l 196 ➜ cpython git:(master) ✗ grep -r . -e raise --include=\.py \| grep NotImplemented \| wc -l 295 I have always used raise NotImplemented or raise NotImplementedError. But when does it make sense to return NotImplemented?
