++i is legal Python but fairly useless. It's the unary + operator,
applied twice. It doesn't increment the variable.

Now, i+=1 IS valid Python, and WILL do what a C programmer expects it to.

Well...

class Silly:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
self._pluscount = 0
def __str__(self):
return str(self.value)
def __pos__(self):
self._pluscount += 1
if self._pluscount == 2:
self.value += 1
self._pluscount = 0
return self

def main():
i = Silly(0)
print('initially, i = %s' % i)
print('plus-plus i = %s' % ++i)
print('finally, i = %s' % i)

main()

:-)

(Of course, +i followed by +i *also* increments i...)
