Shorthand adding/appending in Python
<p>I like that in PHP I can do the following</p>

<pre><code>$myInteger++;
$myString += 'more text';
</code></pre>

<p>With Python I must do the following</p>

<pre><code>myInteger = myInteger + 1
myString = myString + "more text"
</code></pre>

<p>Is there a better way to add or append to a variable in Python?</p>
