Title says it all. Got used to += et al. My mind often expects augmented assignment syntax to exist uniformly for whatever transform.
I'm not really a Guido channeler, but I'd guess this has about a 0% chance of ever making it into Python. Function calls in Python are indicated by () following the function name. Your proposal puts the parentheses (or one of them) *before* the function name. Breaking the consistency here seems like an *extremely* bad idea. STeVe -- I'm not *in*-sane. Indeed, I am so far *out* of sane that you appear a tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity. --- Bucky Katt, Get Fuzzy
