It's used all the time, e.g. the Python equivalent of the Forth word /MOD is the divmod function: quotient, remainder = divmod(num, divisor) divmod returns a pair, and in that example I bound the two elements of the pair into 'quotient' and 'remainder' through destructuring (that's the Lisp term, I don't remember if there's a Python term).
