Swap 2 Variables in Python

In Python, it's concise, easy and faster to swap 2 variables compared in other Programming languages:
Python:
Other programming languages:
Actually, we can also use the second method just like the other programming languages, but it's
slower than the firt method. Why? Let's take a look at the following codes:
As we can see the codes above, the second method involves a new variables 'temp' while the first method not,
so the second method is slower than the first method.
Python:
x, y = y, x
Other programming languages:
temp = x
x = y
y = temp
Actually, we can also use the second method just like the other programming languages, but it's
slower than the firt method. Why? Let's take a look at the following codes:
>>> x = 1
>>> y = 2
>>> x
1
>>> y
2
>>> id(x)
160123056
>>> id(y)
160123044
>>> x, y = y, x
>>> x
2
>>> y
1
>>> id(x)
160123044
>>> id(y)
160123056
>>> x = 1
>>> y = 2
>>> x
1
>>> y
2
>>> id(x)
160123056
>>> id(y)
160123044
>>> temp = x
>>> id(temp)
160123056
>>> x = y
>>> y = temp
>>> id(x)
160123044
>>> id(y)
160123056
>>> x
2
>>> y
1
As we can see the codes above, the second method involves a new variables 'temp' while the first method not,
so the second method is slower than the first method.
