Just yesterday this snippet was used on python-dev to show how great the
new syntax is:
my_func(arg, buffer=(buf := [None]*get_size()), size=len(buf))
What strikes me as awful about this example is that len(buf) is
get_size(), so the wrong value is being named and saved.
'size=len(buf)' is, in a sense, backwards.
buflen = get_size()
my_func(arg, buffer = [None]*buflen, size=buflen)
Is standard, clear Python code. I do not see that
my_func(arg, buffer=[None]*(buflen:=get_size()), size=buflen)
is an improvement.
