@cfbolz Had to run it. Didn't expect what I found. It seems to go like this.
(a, b) = {}, 5
a[b] = (a, b)
Armin just came up with this puzzle, how well do you know obscure Python details? What's a after this statement?: (a, b) = a[b] = {}, 5

@okalotieno I figured it out in my head, but only because assignment had to go left to right, otherwise there would've been an exception ;-)

@cfbolz at least it does the same thing in py2 and py3, that's something :) -
@cfbolz The assignment order really makes no sense to me. -
@cfbolz If you think that's weird, what about: a = [1, 2] a[a.index(1)], a[a.index(2)] = 2, 1 -
