Thanks for response on automatic tuple unpack. My bad I dint know about this all along.
Infact this works same way Go does. I have been analyzing why we would really need such a function (allow function to return multiple types) in python given we have this feature( automatic tuple unpack) and have not yet got good ground. When I come across good ground I will talk about it. So I will say this automatic tuple unpack pretty much works for my needs.
