If you're doing this for a list index, use enumerate() instead.
There's been discussion of adding i++ to python, but it was felt that the
small number of saved keystrokes didn't justify the resulting bugs. I
agree.
Out of curiosity, what resulting bugs?
Probably things like i=(++i)+(--i), although more of being indeterminate
than a bug.
That assumes that ++i was intended for use in an expression, rather than
just be a statement.
