[issue37082] Assignment expression symbol (walrus) not in built-in help()

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum  added the comment:

We might get more help with this issue if the process of updating the help() 
output were better documented. I recently looked into what it would take to add 
"FSTRINGS" to the "topics" list, and it's quite complicated -- I only 
persevered after stepping through pydoc.help() using pdb. I wrote up a few tips 
in issue41045.

[issue37082] Assignment expression symbol (walrus) not in built-in help()

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

The augmented assignment symbol, like that for plain assignment, is not, 
properly speaking, an operator.  But it definitely is a symbol that needs to be 
documented.

1. Generally update the help symbol list.

2. Document :=, assignment expression, in the regular docs, but I found nothing.

':=' should be on https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-Symbols.html just 
':(colon)'.

'expression' should be listed under 'assignment on
https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-A.html

I think 'assignment' should be listed under 'expression' on
https://docs.python.org/3.8/genindex-E.html

I could not find anything in the expressions chapter.
