A with statement makes clear that the alias is an alias and

block code is used.

  Python does not seem to have blocks in the way of C and
  many other languages.

  One could use a "del" to clarify the scope:

tmp = x
x = y
y = tmp
del tmp

  . But I believe that the mainstream sees this as bad style.

  What comes most close to a block in Python, is a function definition:

def f( ... ):
    tmp = ...

  . This expresses that the scope of "tmp" is that function definition.
