Read the manual: 6.3.1 Augmented assignment statements

"target augop expression_list
An augmented assignment evaluates the target (which, unlike normal 
assignment statements, cannot be an unpacking) and the expression list, 
performs the binary operation specific to the type of assignment on the 
two operands, and assigns the result to the original target."
