Python字符串不是不可变的吗？那为什么a+“+b有效呢？

Question

我的理解是Python字符串是不可变的。

我尝试了以下代码：

a = "Dog"
b = "eats"
c = "treats"

print a, b, c
# Dog eats treats

print a + " " + b + " " + c
# Dog eats treats

print a
# Dog

a = a + " " + b + " " + c
print a
# Dog eats treats
# !!!

Python不应该阻止赋值吗？我可能遗漏了什么。

知道吗？

字符串对象本身是不可变的。

指向字符串的变量a是可变的。

考虑：

a = "Foo"
# a now points to "Foo"
b = a
# b points to the same "Foo" that a points to
a = a + a
# a points to the new string "FooFoo", but b still points to the old "Foo"

print a
print b
# Outputs:

# FooFoo
# Foo

# Observe that b hasn't changed, even though a has.
