I don't understand what citation do you need.

In particularly mutating and non-mutating operations are separated. The assignment expression breaks this. [citation needed]

In Python the assignment (including the augmented assignment) is a statement, del is a statement, function and class declarations are statements, import is a statement. Mutating methods like list.sort() and dict.update() return None to discourage using them in expressions. This a common knowledge, I don't know who's citation you need.
