If I understand your question, you aren't so much asking about const vs.
non-const arguments, but rather passing by value vs. passing by reference.
Whenever I want to return multiple values, I write a wrapper function
that packs the return values into a tuple, making the interface more
pythonic. For example:
void func(int input, int &out1, int &out2);
tuple pyfunc(int input)
{
int out1, out2;
func(input, out1, out2);
return make_tuple(out1, out2);
}
...
and then wrap pyfunc instead of func.
Does this address the problem you are trying to solve ?
