John Posner <john_posner_ab71 at post.harvard.edu> added the comment:
The "Assignment statements" section *does* talk about the RHS -- but in
a subtle way:
For targets which are attribute references, the initial
value is retrieved with a getattr()
The retrieving of the initial value (maybe "current value" would be
better) occurs on the RHS of the assignment statement.
