If we're going to allow arbitrary embedded assignments, then "(expr as name)" is the most likely spelling, since: * "as" is already a keyword * "expr as name" is already used for name binding related purposes (albeit not for simple assignments) * "python as expression" and "python as keyword" are both things search engines will accept as queries (search engines tend not to cope very well when you try to search for punctuation characters) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
