Which is better done by 'num += 10'.
Can you come up with an example that isn't trivially replaced with
clearer code? That might make it clearer what your concern is.
::sigh:: No, unfortunately I don't have a strong enough grasp of Python
to give a really in-depth example. I understand what you're asking
though. Perhaps people don't use this idiom as much as I think they do,
so to give a trivial example to support my point isn't helpful.
Perhaps a function to print some text a number of times:
def print_n(text, n):
for i in xrange(n):
print text
(Though I guess you can replace that with print '\n'.join(msg * n) )
