The functions: 
filecmp.dircmp.report()
filecmp.dircmp.report_partial_closure()
filecmp.dircmp.report_full_closure()

do not have return values

Thanks for wanting to improve Python.  However, the purpose of those function is to *print* the result.  They intentionally do not have return values.

All of the values that you would have these functions return are accessible via attributes already.
