However, consider the case in which the dictionary we are referencing lives
in another module:
#external.py
#
#a = {1:"I'am A}
import external
temp = external.a
external.a = b
b = temp
Looks like the interface of your module is broken. It shouldn't export the
tw

That can be simplified to
a, b = b, a
and is almost certainly the right approach.
