Not that I'm aware. And when I tried it just to see what happens
it killed IDLE completely - Window disappeared and everything!
You could of course do it in one line using a semicolon but
it is no more concise than using two lines!
a += k; b += k
And you could use a generator expression, but thats even more typing!
a,b = (n+k for n in [a,b])
Sometimes simplest is best...
