Assuming that you're using version 2 of Boost.Python, you should use the
tuple wrapper class.

I'm just a beginner with Boost.Python myself, but I think this should work:

    return boost::python::make_tuple(
        theboard.x60_clk/1e6, 
        theboard.pwm_clk/1e6,
        theboard.utx_clk/1e6,
        theboard.urx_clk/1e6,
        theboard.local_ref_clk/1e6,
        theboard.pcr_ref_clk/1e6,
        theboard.mod_ref_clk/1e6,
        theboard.demod_ref_clk/1e6,
        theboard.mod_utopia,
        theboard.demod_utopia,
        theboard.dac_type,
        theboard.adc_type);

Consider defining a new Python class/type to hold all these values, as
code that accesses the anonymous members of a large tuple can be quite
hard to read and maintain.
