Yes and so what? Does this makes it automatically not related to
the wish to choose more compact spelling, despite it is not
recommended way. What is different with append?
Similar posts are in topics about append and anything else actually,
e.g.:

i = i +1
i +=1

You can find enough evidence that people prefer i += 1.

I think yuo should reread that one more thoroughly - I'll even paste here
the text:
"""

awkward to read [...]

Though append works just fine, I feel it is less clear than:
mylist[i] = 2*math.pi*radius*math.cos(phi[i])
""""
So your claim this ^ is not relevant?!

Seriously I am starting to get tired of that style of conversation.
I provided you links - you are not pleased again.
