Why isn't a tuple enough? You can do automatic tuple unpack:v1, v2 = return_multiplevalues(1, 2)On Jun 1, 2017 17:18, "joannah nanjekye" <nanjekyejoannah@gmail.com> wrote:______________________________return num1, num2def return_multiplevalues(num1, num2):Today I was writing an example snippet for the book and needed to write a function that returns two values something like this:Hello Team,I am Joannah. I am currently working on a book on python compatibility and publishing it with apress. I have worked with python for a while we are talking about four years.
I noticed that this actually returns a tuple of the values which I did not want in the first place.I wanted python to return two values in their own types so I can work with them as they are but here I was stuck with working around a tuple.My proposal is we provide a way of functions returning multiple values. This has been implemented in languages like Go and I have found many cases where I needed and used such a functionality. I wish for this convenience in python so that I don't have to suffer going around a tuple.I will appreciate discussing this. You may also bring to light any current way of returning multiple values from a function that I may not know of in python if there is.Kind regards,Joannah
