No, "subroutine" in other languages is another name for "function" in
Python. :)

You might say Functions in VB are Subs which return values. Functions in
Python are _both_; you don't have to declare a return value if you don't
want to, in which case your function will return the value None.

>>> def noval():
... 	pass
... 
>>> noval()
>>> noval() is None
True
