    @ninja `fnct(a, b): return c, d`. `x, y = fnct(a, b)` – Kenly Dec 06 '15 at 13:51

You write a function that takes 2 inputs, and return a comma separated list of outputs:

def function(first, second):
    return first, second

firstOutput, secondOutput = function(1,2)

You could make a definition that takes 2 values as an input, and have a return below that that returns 2 values.

For example: 

#Create a definition 
def HelloWorld(valueA, valueB):
    print(valueA)
    print(valueB) 
    return 'Hello', 'World'


# Call the definition 
HelloWorld('HelloA', 'HelloB')
