I'm kind of repeating what other people have said, but there
isn't a better way. Not just in Python, but in any language.
If your function is returning multiple values, why should you
have to split them into one privileged "return value" plus a
bunch of Out (or InOut) parameters? That's a historical mis-
feature of older languages, and one which more newer languages
would do well to fix.
