I don't know that specific function, but the Python syntax:

   x, y = thing

indicates that "thing" is a tuple (of two elements in this case) and
the elements of that tuple are assigned to x and y.

In the example you mentioned, the function returns a two-tuple, and
those two parts are assigned to tp and val respectively.

You might want to find and read a good Python tutorial (or textbook)
if this material is new to you.
