That one is dealt with in the PEP. It is not an option. > 2) "target := expr" (as probably best close alternative) Yep, got that one. > 3) "target ? expr" (where ? is some other word/character - IIRC > "target from expr" was proposed once) ... which isn't specific enough to be a front-runner option. > That's it. > But well, if I compare to your choice list - there is ":=" option you > have as well :) Yes.
