Content 
The "Assignment statements" section *does* talk about the RHS -- but in
a subtle way:

  For targets which are attribute references, the initial
  value is retrieved with a getattr()

The retrieving of the initial value (maybe "current value" would be
better) occurs on the RHS of the assignment statement.
