Hi Grig,

Glad to hear you're interested in contributing.  Yes, this community is very 
open to outside contributors.  The right way to contribute, as you said, is to 
open a ticket on JIRA and upload relevant patches.  A committer will apply, 
review, and commit your patch.  With enough contributions you can eventually 
become a committer.

Returning the tuple as you described is a viable option.  I can also see 
returning a dictionary mapping the values (my preference).  While there are 
multiple solutions, I think it comes down to preference.  Paul or Jerry or some 
of the main python contributors would be better suited to comment as I mostly 
work on the Java version.
