\indexii{evaluation}{order}
Python evaluates expressions from left to right. Notice that while
evaluating an assignment, the right-hand side is evaluated before
the left-hand side.
In the following lines, expressions will be evaluated in the
arithmetic order of their suffixes:
\begin{verbatim}
expr1, expr2, expr3, expr4
(expr1, expr2, expr3, expr4)
{expr1: expr2, expr3: expr4}
expr1 + expr2 * (expr3 - expr4)
func(expr1, expr2, *expr3, **expr4)
expr3, expr4 = expr1, expr2
\end{verbatim}
