I don't think this is quite true. ++var and --var are legal albeit redundant expressions that equal var var++ and var-- cause a SyntaxError, as they should.

This is obscure, maybe a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/rob.cliffe%40btinternet.co...
