This one sets them to absolute values, rather than the incrementing
functionality in question:

The actual code in question does the initialization outside a loop:
alphas_updated = betas_updated = 0
for thing in bunch_of_things:
a, b = process(thing)
alphas_updated += a
betas_updated += b
and it just bugs me as being a little warty for having temp
variables when Python does things like tuple-unpacking so elegantly.
That said, as mentioned in a contemporaneous reply to Jason, I haven't
found anything better that is still readable.
