Thank you for all your answers. They were all very instructive to me. However, after further investigation, I feel that I have made a mistake when putting this topic on the table.
When walrus operator was discussed, it was proposed to restrict assignment expressions to if, elif, and while statements. That proposal was rejected. I realised now that that also applies, by analogy, to assert statement. So, sorry for taking this issue back. My apologies. I was not my intention to re-start any superseded debate. The walrus operator, as you know, has been —and will be— highly controversial and material on this matter is enormous. Reviewing all this material is a huge task that I should have done before speaking. Sorry again and thank you. _______________________________________________ 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/MACCFXXNIL3EDUAFR7ZVGK36B4I6SATO/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
