Python doesn't have multiple assignment, just tuple unpacking. Consider the order of evaluation here: 1. tmp = (6, x[2]) (i.e., (6, 2)) 2. x[2] = tmp[0] 3. tmp2 = x.index(6) (= 2) 4. x[tmp2] = tmp[1] (i.e., x[2] = 2) ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40109> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
