Python Add Elements of a List (or Set, or whatever Data Type is appropriate)

Question

Is there an easy way to add the members of two equally sized lists (or tuple or whatever data type would work best)?

I have, for example a and b with 2 elements:

a = (0, 10)
b = (0, -10)

I want to add them and get as result:

result = (0, 0)

NOT (0, 10, 0, -10)
