That's a very strange C extension, which returns a string that just
happens to look similar to the repr() of a tuple ... What's the name
of the C extension? Where did you get it from? If you are the author,
would you like to be shown how to make it return a tuple? That way,
all the caller has to do is:

x, y, z = my_extn.some_func(.........)
