Thank you for the time.
I will study the docs and play with the shell till this is firm.

It looks like the docs could use some examples of the various
assignments it refers to.
I think something like Bengt posted would be a nice addition if it
included assignments with slices and dicts too.
Just a thought.

Hi,
You're thinking you're passing the arguments as reference (look at mutable
vs non-mutable)
Your function returns the values in a tupple (x,y,...); you need to fetch
the values from that tupple

a bit of trouble getting a function to work the way I think it should

How would you access the returned value?
If you want a tuple you need to assign all the return vales to a single
name.
mytup = abc(x,y,dotp,sumx,maxv)

Huh? This binds the names x, y, dotp, sumx and maxv to the
values returned by abc:
py def abc(*args):
... return args
...
py (x,y,dotp,sumx,maxv)
Thank you very much. Tulpes are really neat now that I've looked at
them. So after just fixing it, I changed it up and I would like to
show it off now.

Maybe. But it does not seem to hurt. And I am not sure the tupel _is_
really created in that situation.

Yes, I gathered.
We all get our habits from somewhere :-)

I don't know the implementation enough to know whether or not a tuple is

Be sure to study up on namespaces, it will ease your Python woes.
Namespaces are the most fundamental part of Python that new users don't
understand. Namespace mastery will take you far.

It actually is the same, and I don't think implicit or explicit is the
difference you should be citing here.
Why not it is relevant and true that Python is doing an implicit
unpacking of the values in that unnamed tuple.

I explained what i meant in previous post there was nothing more than

While I find unnecessary parens on the right of '=' tolerable, I agree as
to the style preference.
