(original) (raw)

I don't think this is quite true.
 
    ++var  and \--var
are legal albeit redundant expressions that equal var
 
    var++ and var--
cause a SyntaxError, as they should.

Subject: \[Python-Dev\] surprised to "++" and "--"

Hi,
    I know that there is no "++" or "--" operator in python, but if "var++" or something like that in my code(you know, most of C/C++ coders may like this),there is nothing wrong reported and program goes on just like expected!!
    This is obscure, maybe a bug.
