Raymond Hettinger added the comment: To my eyes, the current set notation form more clearly expresses its intentions than the |= notation. Readability counts.

The mild benefit isn't worth it. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24145> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
