It is standard Python, of course, like the rest of win32com interface.
Python has no "out" parameters per se, but any function can return
tuple:

>>> div_and_mod = divmod(9, 4)
>>> div_and_mod
(2, 1)

A tuple can be unpacked to separate variables:

>>> div, mod = div_and_mod
>>> div
2
>>> mod
1

But you can always combine tuple unpacking with function call:

>>> div, mod = divmod(9, 4)
