<p>This question may seem strange, but I'm wondering why is there no such operation in Python.<br /><br />
I know, <code>x += 1</code> is almost as simple as <code>x++</code>, but still. There is such operation in most languages I'm familiar with (C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP), but there isn't in Python.<br /><br />
Maybe it has something to do with the phylosophy of this language?</p>
