No, it actually happens left to right. "x = y = z = 0" means "assign 0
to x, then assign 0 to y, then assign 0 to z." It doesn't mean "assign
0 to z, then assign z to y, etc." This works:
>>> d = d['foo'] = {}
>>> d
{'foo': {...}}
This doesn't:
>>> del d
>>> d['foo'] = d = {}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'd' is not defined
