Now I have slightly different idea. How is about special-casing of this as a shortcut for append:
L[] = item Namely just use the fact that empty slice is SyntaxError now. I understand this is totally different approach than operator overloading and maybe hard to implement, but I feel like it looks really appealing. And it is quite intuitive imo. For me the syntax reads like: "add new empty element and this element will be "item". No? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
