From what I've read on SO about += ,there is not much penalty in comparison to append() when using one item. And besides, if your idea is to promote += [item] spelling instead of .append() method - then might be you have a totally different idea than mine - so probably start new discussion thread. I suspect though it has little sense because such spelling is imo nothing but obfuscation in terms of readability, and thankfully I haven't seen a lot of such usage.
