Okay.  So why is that a problem?

Or to ask it from the other side, what's stopping you from 
returning items in an object?

class Struct:
    pass

def returnStruct():
    result = Struct()

    result.anInt = 5
    result.aString = 'foo bar baz'
    result.spam = ('eggs', 'brian')
 
    return result
