   Returns the result of right shifting \var{o1} by \var{o2} on
   success, or \NULL{} on failure.  The operation is done
   \emph{in-place} when \var{o1} supports it.  This is the equivalent
-  of the Python statement \samp{\var{o1} >\code{>=} \var{o2}}.
+  of the Python statement \samp{\var{o1} >>= \var{o2}}.
