Technically, neither C nor Python can return multiple values from a
single function call. In Python, the most common way to do this is to
return a tuple, which can then be unpacked; as other posts in this
thread have shown, this can look a lot like returning multiple values,
and it's pretty convenient. In C, the nearest equivalent is passing a
number of pointers as parameters, and having the function fill out
values. Python's model is a lot closer to what you're saying than C's
model is :)
