import random

def some_function():
    example = random.randint(0, 1)
    if example == 1:
        other_example = 2
    else:
        return False
    return example, other_example

With this example, there is a chance that either one or two variables will be returned. Usually, for one variable I'd use var = some_function() while for two, var, var2 = some_function(). How can I tell how many variables are being returned by the function?
