An augmented assignment expression like \code{x += 1} can be rewritten as
\code{x = x + 1} to achieve a similar, but not exactly equal effect. In the

\keyword{print} also has an extended form, defined as
+\index{extended print statement}
\begin{verbatim}
-print_stmt: '>>' expression [ (',' expression)+ [','] ] )
+print_stmt: "print" ">>" expression [ ("," expression)+ [","] ]
\end{verbatim}
In this form, the first expression after the \keyword{>>} must
The \keyword{from} form does not bind the module name: it goes through the
list of identifiers, looks each one of them up in the module found in step
(1), and binds the name in the local namespace to the object thus found.
-Like with the first form of \keyword{import}, an alternate local name can be
+As with the first form of \keyword{import}, an alternate local name can be
supplied by specifying "\keyword{as} localname". If a name is not found,
\exception{ImportError} is raised. If the list of identifiers is replaced
by a star (\samp{*}), all names defined in the module are bound, except
