Neiter the language. The dot symbol is a delimiter in the python grammar. Not an operator. And also defined as a delimiter in the official documentation, right after operators. Meanwhile augmented assignment is governed by the `augassign` nonterminal. An addition to its list would result in a non backwards compatible new syntactic sugar feature. This would mabe not be a big issue between 3.X and 2.X, but would, I reckon, be against the compatibility rules between 3.X versions. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
