In PEP 3104 the nonlocal statement was proposed and accepted for implementation in Python 3.0 for access to names in outer scopes. The proposed syntax included an optional assignment or augmented assignment to the outer name, such as:
nonlocal x += 1 This syntax doesn't appear to be supported in the 3.0 implementation. My question is: was this intentional or was it missed in the initial release? If it was intentional, is there any plan to support it in a later 3.x release? I realize it is a very small convenience feature but I have already come across a couple of cases where I use nested functions where it does make the code seem a little cleaner.
