How is this different from using OUT params and RETURNS SETOF RECORD ?
hannu=# CREATE FUNCTION outsetof2py(n integer, OUT i integer, OUT j
integer) RETURNS SETOF record AS $$
for i in xrange(n): yield {'i':i,'j':i*i}
$$ LANGUAGE plpythonu;
CREATE FUNCTION
hannu=# select * from outsetof2py(3);i | j
---+---0 | 01 | 12 | 4
(3 rows)
btw, this currently works for pl/python only in my local copy (still
testing for bugs), but similar declaration works fine for pl/pgsql
