Indeed. And if you want to test the augmented assignment operators
(+=/-=/etc that is, not ++/--) give the patch on SourceForge a try:

http://sourceforge.net/patch?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100699&group_id=5470

and/or provide feedback on the PEP on this subject:

http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0203.html

Now is the last chance to provide any useful feedback, 2.0 is going in a
feature freeze on Monday!
