and it's pretty convenient. In C, the nearest equivalent is passing a

model is :)
At least, C functions can return structs...
Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Thought that was C++ but not C, partly
because I never do it in either language. Although in a sense, a
struct is still a single "thing".

Don't forget that C functions can accept structs as input. Possibly not
a good idea as I found out many years ago pre ANSIC when I forgot that
little old ampersand, so the compiler didn't pick it up, but then with
modern computers having so much memory who really cares if you burn a
little bit of stack on structures rather than pointers to structures?
Now does Python pass by value or by reference? Happily sits back and
waits for 10**6 emails to arrive as this is discussed for the 10**6th time.
