I'm kind of repeating what other people have said, but there isn't a better way. Not just in Python, but in any language. If your function is returning multiple values, why should you have to split them into one privileged "return value" plus a bunch of Out (or InOut) parameters? That's a historical mis- feature of older languages, and one which more newer languages would do well to fix. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
