The "return" statement allows an arbitratu expression as its target, 
even complex objects like sequences, classes and instances. For example:

 >>> def tuplify(a, b):
...   return a, b
...
 >>> tuplify([1, 2], [3, 4])
([1, 2], [3, 4])
 >>> thing, thong = tuplify("sing", (1, 2, 3))
 >>> thing
'sing'
 >>> thong
(1, 2, 3)
 >>>
