Well, it is effectively documented by the text here: http://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements since "a + b" is logically equivalent to a.extend(b) when a is being updated "in-place". The fact that it is in fact implemented using extend is an implementation detail. That said, it would be logical to add an entry for the augmented assignment to the table here: http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#mutable-sequence-types There also may be other places in that chapter where augmented assignment deserves mention.
