I thought that x += ... was the same than x = x + ..., but today I have

It may or may not be the same. x += y will invoke x.__iadd__(y) if x has
an __iadd__ method, otherwise x + y will be evaluated and the result
assigned to x.
Does this depend on whether Py27 or Py32 is used?

In the first case, x will always continue to refer to the same object
(i.e. id(x) won't change). In the second case, x will typically (but not
always) refer to a different object.
