That would be a very strange and unprecedented syntax that munges together an attribute lookup and a call. Keep in mind that a method call in Python is actually two separate things: y = x.m() is equivalent to f = x.m y = f() But it would not be possible to break down your .= syntax in that way. Another oddity is that these are equivalent: x += y x += (y) i.e. the RHS is evaluated as usual before doing the +=. But these would not be equivalent: hash .= hexdigest() hash .= (hexdigest()) In fact the latter would probably have to be disallowed, as it's not at all clear what it should mean. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
