[CentralOH] Indicating Meaning of Items of Return Values

[jep200404 at columbus.rr.com]

How do you indicate _meaning_? 

When returning multiple things such as in a tuple or list 
from a function or method, what are good ways of referring to the 
individual items that convey _meaning? 

For example, the indexes of bar leave no clue as to what 
its items mean in the following code. 

    def foo():
        ...
        return search, holy, grail

    def main():
        bar = foo()

        # The indexes of bar give no clue as to meaning. 
        snafu = bar[0] * bar[1] + bar[2]

I am playing with the following to indicate meaning. 

    #  Indexes for return values are: 
    (SEARCH, HOLY, GRAIL) = range(3)
    def foo():
        ...
        return search, holy, grail

    def main():
        bar = foo()

        snafu = bar[SEARCH] * bar[HOLY] + bar[GRAIL]

What are better ways of conveying meaning? 
The normal way of returning things is with a tuple, 
of which the items are accessed by numerical index. 
Should I return a dictionary as follows? 
That seems too much. 

    def foo():
        ...
        return {"SEARCH": search, "HOLY": holy, "GRAIL": grail}

    def main():
        bar = foo()

        snafu = bar{"SEARCH"} * bar{"HOLY"} + bar{"GRAIL"}
