[Python-Dev] surprised to "++" and "--"

[Rob Cliffe]

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.

  Hi,
      I know that there is no "++" or "--" operator in python, but if "var++" or something like that in my code(you know, most of C/C++ coders may like this),there is nothing wrong reported and program goes on just like expected!! 
      This is obscure, maybe a bug.
