Martin Panter added the comment: Here is a patch documenting the += and *= mutable sequence operations. Please review my wording.
These operations already seem to be tested, at least on the basic mutable sequences: see /Lib/test/list_tests.py, test_array, test_collections, test_bytes (tests bytearray). The only other places that I thought might be missing augmented assignment were for sets, but there is no problem there: <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#set.update>. However, there are other operations that I think may be missing from this page of the documentation. But it might be better to handle those in a separate bug report. Some of this could build off the work in Issue 12067. * Equality comparisons (mentioned for range and dict, but apparently not tuple, set, strings, etc) * Ordering comparisons (not supported for range) * min() and max() don’t really belong; maybe substitute with iter() ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +martin.panter stage: needs patch -> patch review versions: +Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40552/seq-inplace.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16701> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
