title: Shorthand adding/appending in Python
body: <p>I like that in PHP I can do the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>$myInteger++;
  $myString += 'more text';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With Python I must do the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>myInteger = myInteger + 1
  myString = myString + "more text"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to add or append to a variable in Python?</p>
