Python Multiple Assignment Is a Puzzle

Just wanted to add a more functional solution:

    def miss_pos(a):
        b = range(1, len(a)+2)
        return min(set(b).difference(a))

It's probably not as efficient, but remember the first rule of optimization: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?FirstRuleOfOptimization

I wonder why so much discussion about arbitrary rules of assignment when the solution to the problem can be written (and is more readable) without ever mentioning this complicated "assignment" feature.
