Using if/else is the most readable in the general sense. Using return (or break or continue as applicable) in this manner would indicate (at least to me) that it's an exceptional or otherwise special case and that the function can't do what it's supposed to. In that case, I would try to catch an exception rather than use if/else whenever possible. I highly doubt there is a significant performance difference between them. -- CPython 3.3.0b1 | Windows NT 6.1.7601.17803
