So why pretend that ++ and -- don't exist?
Probably because Python would gain very little from having them. Main uses of ++ in C are things like integer for loops: for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {... and stepping through arrays: a[i++] = b[j++]; Python code usually operates at a higher level than that. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
