And this is wrong: "Missing return statement" is not specific to Generator, that's just because the return type is non-None and the body s trivial.
A reasonable function can return a Generator or Iterator and contain no yield (this passes):
from collections.abc import Generator
def fn() -> Generator[int]:
return (i for i in range(5))On the other hand, missing return statement causes a diagnostic without Generator too (except for stub files):
def fn() -> int:
... # E: Missing return statement [empty-body]

That sounds reasonable, I'll re-write these lines.
