[Python-projects] PyLint: Crash when "return" is found at top level

I agree pylint should report a bit more nicely the syntax error. 
This is the kind of SyntaxError that are raised at compilation time
and not directly at parse time (it is gramatically correct).
I've made a small fix for that.


The same problem reamins True for code such as ::

    def f():
        if True: yield 1
        else: return 2

Pylint does not crash on this sample, but does not complain either.

Thanks for reporting,
Adrien.
