Daniel Fetchinson a écrit : (snip)
and my point is that users are most of time correct when they assume that something will work the same way as in C.
Oh, really ? They would surely be wrong if they'd expect the for loop to have any similarity with a C for loop, or - a *very* common error - if they'd expect assignment to work the same way as in C.
So I'd think that putting a warning in a FAQ or a Python Gotchas list about ++n would be very useful for many users.
Might eventually be useful, but I can't hardly recall of more than a couple threads on this topic in 8+ years.
