You're mixing up order of evaluation with operator associativity. The ** operator is right-to-left associative, this means x ** y ** z == x ** (y ** z). Evaluation is left to right, where it matters [i.e. if one or more of the elements here were an expression with side effects]: first x is evaluated, then tmp=y**z, then x**tmp. These are two entirely different concepts. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
