1) I think it's not particularly to be useful for other kinds of exception-raising conditions 2) neither destructuring lists nor subscripts/attributes are valid targets for the := operator now. Neither of these constructs seems to be particularly useful outside the other one, which suggests to me they should not be orthogonal in the way you have proposed. Is there a good reason for wanting them to be, or do you just see that as the best way to get a nice looking syntax? I bring up (2) mainly because you mentioned "any syntactically valid target" with the suggestion of using subscripts and attributes in another reply, without any apparent regard for either the fact that these were excluded from PEP 572 or the reasons for doing so. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/KHJFISJHIJQZG5RE3XHDCMXFIDLBQ5FK/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
