I'm really excited about what lang-python and  
[https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-facet-script](https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-facet-script) mean for my ability to  
prototype facets in elasticsearch, but python lacks the same last-value-out  
behavior that MVEL has. Is there some callable method in  
PythonExecutableScript that's exposed to py scripts to specify a return  
value?

I think you are right. I cannot think of a way to execute more than one  
statement in the python script. Maybe you should create an issue for this.
