===============================

**Message emitted:**

``Consider using tuple unpacking for swapping variables``

**Description:**

*You do not have to use a temporary variable in order to swap variables. Using "tuple unpacking" to directly swap variables makes the intention more clear.*

**Problematic code:**

.. literalinclude:: /data/messages/c/consider-swap-variables/bad.py
   :language: python

**Correct code:**

.. literalinclude:: /data/messages/c/consider-swap-variables/good.py
   :language: python
