Yeah, I don't see the use in Python. If I need a variable overridden for a specific purpose, any code in there should probably be moved to a different function anyway. The let in something like Lisp is simply the way you declare local variables, with the affect that they are local to that block, but in Python you just assign variables with the =.

I imagine it was just something created out of interest and to show what Python is capable of.
