I just see the tutorial says Python can return value in function, it does
not say multiple data results return situation. In C, it is possible.
How about Python on a multiple data return requirement?

Technically, neither C nor Python can return multiple values from a
single function call. In Python, the most common way to do this is to
return a tuple, which can then be unpacked; as other posts in this
thread have shown, this can look a lot like returning multiple values,
and it's pretty convenient. In C, the nearest equivalent is passing a
number of pointers as parameters, and having the function fill out
values. Python's model is a lot closer to what you're saying than C's
model is :)

Closer modeling of C's model in python is to pass an object or a list as an argument and set their attributes or elements in the function.

def f(a, b):
    a.x = 4.3
    a.y = 1.7
    b[:] = [45, 67]
    return 3
