Python integer incrementing with ++ [duplicate]

I’ve always laughed to myself when I’ve looked back at my VB6 days and thought, “What modern language doesn’t allow incrementing with double plus signs?”:

number++

To my surprise, I can’t find anything about this in the Python docs. Must I really subject myself to number = number + 1? Don’t people use the ++ / -- notation?
