Sounds right to me.  Your answer does point to the danger of using
nargout in python

  ret = somefunc()
  i,j = ret  

If somefunc is relying on nargout, it will botch it.

I think the only sane use for nargout in python is in auto-conversion
scripts, and then with appropriate warnings. 

Thanks said, I would still like to have it, for that reason.
