Checking them in now.

Okay. I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but I *think* this does it:
replace

Operator = group('\+', '\-', '\*\*', '\*', '\^', '~', '/', '%', '&', '\|',
                 '<<', '>>', '==', '<=', '<>', '!=', '>=', '=', '<', '>')

with

Operator = group('\+=', '\-=', '\*=', '%=', '/=', '\*\*=', '&=', '\|=',
                 '\^=', '>>=', '<<=', '\+', '\-', '\*\*', '\*', '\^', '~',
                 '/', '%', '&', '\|', '<<', '>>', '==', '<=', '<>', '!=',
                 '>=', '=', '<', '>')

Placing the augmented-assignment operators at the end doesn't work, but this
seems to do the trick. However, I can't really test this module, just check
its output. It seems okay, but I would appreciate either an 'okay' or a
more extensive test before checking it in. No, I can't start IDLE right now,
I'm working over a 33k6 leased line and my home machine doesn't have an
augmented Python yet :-)
