I should have read your post to the end before sending a witty reply.   I
think you are facing an uphill battle regardless of the syntax.  In many
ways even the augmented assignment operators that are already in the
language are "un-pythonic" and many dark corners have been discovered since
they were introduced.

@= would be a better choice, but @ has been taken for the matrix
multiplication operator.
