With my proposal, using := to init (similar to how in math parlance, the := is used for defining something for the first time)
Dic = {} # format fruit:count For fruit in fruits: Dic[fruit]:= 0 Dic[fruit]+=1
To my eye, this does not look like a conditional assignment. And how would an operator like this work with objects other than dicts? Besides, it's easier and clearer to write this as dic = defaultdict(int) for fruit in fruits: dic[fruit] += 1 --- Bruce
