def breakfast(i):
    """Some function that returns a tuple"""
    spam = i

    return spam, eggs

# A list comprehension that generates results
results = [breakfast(i) for i in range(1, 4)]
## or, if you like that sort of thing:
# results = map(breakfast, range(1, 4))

# "un-zip" to split the results
spamses, eggses = zip(*results)
