You could definitely do some research before posting erroneous
statements (this one isn't difficult to check, as Alex showed).
Especially when the other posters (Alex and Raymond) are a lot more
competent than you on the topic at hand.
If you actually try to *reason* about it, there is no other way for:
x[k] += <some_expr>
to work in the general case than to execute
x.__setitem__(k, x.__getitem__(k) + <some_expr>)
So, yes, the lookup is done twice, because it currently can't work
otherwise.
