I think instead of renaming (which then requires us to add an obsolete
alias), it would be better to leave python-shell-send-string-no-output
available, but just make it a thin wrapper around
python-shell-send-string-return-output (which I would suggest to name
python-shell-send-string-maybe-output instead).  This way, we don't
annoy Lisp programs that use python-shell-send-string-no-output with
obsolescence warnings.

Thanks.
