Disregarding some ugly hacks, Python does not permit assignment in expressions, so what you're asking for is not possible. For the goods of readability, prevention of errors, and simplicity, Python forces you to do it the "long way" (the Right Way(tm) if you ask most Python partisans). If you could explain your situation and the context of your question in greater detail, someone might be able to suggest an alternate structure for your code which obviates your desire for such a construct.
