When I write an annotation for a function which returns one parameter, I have no problems.
def func() -> str:
return "ok"
However, when I write an annotation with two or more parameters, my PyCharm gives me SyntaxError: invalid syntax.
def func() -> str, str:
return "ok - 1", "ok - 2"
I think that the parameters can be combined with a tuple, but I don't think that's the best way to do it.
My question is: how can I properly annotate a function with two or more return parameters?
Please include a PEP link, if any, in your response. I looked for the answer at PEP 484 and PEP 3107 and could not find it.

Use typing.Tuple:
def func() -> Tuple[str, str]:
return 'a', 'b'
This is appropriate because, conceptually, you are actually returning a single tuple containing those values. Note:
print(type(func()))
Output:
<class 'tuple'>

Tupleis reasonable. It may be too strict in some cases, but there isn’t a better alternative without different tradeoffs as far as I can tell.

@kojiro It seems to me that that would not apply in the case of return values...?

I think it still applies. The main thing about the signature isn’t that the function returns a tuple per se, but that it return an unpackable with a specific length. There are plenty of sequence types that are unpackable, but no generic unpackable type that also has length and inner-type specifiers. Tuple can specify everything, but is too strict.

@kojiro I might be misunderstanding you, but is it not the case that functions with multiple return values specifically returntuple, as opposed to a function with a single return value that also happens to be an unpackable object that knows its length and elements' types, which would require such a specifier?

A tuple is still a single object that happens to be unpackable. That’s what I’m saying. There isn’t a way to express python returning multiple values from a function because python can’t return multiple values from a function. But it can return a sequence, and a tuple is one kind of sequence.
