Hi there,
another question in this popular series of foolish questions...
Can someone *please* give me a good reason why Python doesn't yet have
+=, -=, and .= and other such operators? I know it's just syntactic
sugar, but damn, it is such sweet sugar!
Also, if this is in 1.5.2+, please forgive me, as I'm not up to speed
on the new versions yet. And I have searched the FAQ for this
question but have not found it.
many thanks,
---Preston
