Either
x**= n % 10 # The **= changes the parse context, so that %
is no longer
# immediately evaluated
or
x**= (n, 10) # exponentiation to a tuple isn't currently
defined, and it
# does show that both arguments are
part of the power
# expression -- but I'm not sure it
needs a 3-argument form
# instead of just unpacking the tuple itself.
