It doesn't help that you put all return statements on the same line, only
the first
return data
is executed; the other two are unreachable code.

In Python while you can return only one value you can easily combine
multiple values into one tuple. Instead of
> return data; return latselect; return lonselect
write
return data, latselect, lonselect
When you call the function you can either access the parts of the tuple with
their respective index
result = DatasetToSubset(...)
lat = result[1]
or use a language feature called "unpacking" to break the tuple into the
individual values:
data, lat, lon = DatasetToSubset(...)
