It is NOT a numeric "variable" in Python realms.
Sure, but why does it not behave more like one? It seems both obvious and desirable, so I'm guessing there is a good reason not to do it.
So var+=increment can't be used because Python would rebind the name var to a new object
import Tkinter as tk class IntVar2(tk.IntVar):
