It doesn't really expose this functionality because some of the functionality is buried in ceval.c and is not exposed by operator.isub() for example. I don't see that it offers anything useful that can't be accomplished by calling a magic method directly. I'm sure that consistency/completeness/safe_vs_sorry was the reason they were added. But, if they aren't useful, they never should have been (IMO). It wastes the time of people who try to use them and then find-out that they don't act as expected (the assignment doesn't take place) or that you can't use them with containers s[k] += x etc.) Maybe someone somewhere has some interesting use for these in-place operator function. I hope so. Raymond
