I currently have a function that uses a list internally but then returns the

if len(result)==1: return result[0]
if len(result)==2: return result[0], result[1]
(and so on). Is there a cleaner way to accomplish the same thing?
To elaborate on Paul's answer, returning the list will also unpack it if
you have it set up that way. E.g.
def func(alist):
return alist
some_list = [1, 2]
this, that = func(alist)
At least, in 2.5.4 this works. :-)
Mind you, if you don't have the correct number of return names to match
the unpacking you'll get the normal errors from that.
Hope this helps!
