You say: "The documentation says ..." but don't tell us which documentation. This documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements tells us that augmented assignment is assignment: "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." And also: "the assignment done by augmented assignment statements is handled the same way as normal assignments." ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46612> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
