return (self.mode := self.mode_valid(mode))
The principal use-case for the operator is in conditions, for example:
if m := re.match(pattern_1, string):

elif m := re.match(pattern_2, string):

Do you have a convincing argument that it should be expanded from a

Having:
self.mode = self.mode_valid(mode)
return self.mode
isn't too bad.
