Quite sick, isn't it?

First i thought it could easily be converted to
a = b
b = a + b

but that's wrong; one would need an intermediate field.

helpa = b
b = a + b
a = helpa

Hm. Not so bad, but i think there's not often a need for this on business 
machines.

PS: i have no idea what python is and for what it is good for. Maybe i 
search a bit in the web, when i've some time for it... :-)
