The PEP itself justifies the addition of Y.

Sure, if "expressio

Yes, so a short circuit is sometimes good. Not often imho, for a default
triggered by None, but sometimes...
In the case it is, do you want it to be hidden in an expression? Usually it
would be better to draw attention, when the defau

The ?? operator is probably the less scary one regarding legibility, and in
guessing (or remembering) what it exactly does...
Well, at least I think I understand what it does exactly, but if I'm not wrong
there, what it does is also quite simple and minimal.
A function returning it's first non-N

Hello,
I'm implementing a protocol where I need to read individual bytes until
a condition is met (value & 0x80 == 0).
My current approach is: value = (await reader.readexactly(1))[0]
To speed this up, I propose that a new function is added to
asyncio.StreamReader: value = await reader.readbyte(
Aargh, I hate Google Groups with a vengeance. If people *have* to post
from there, can they please change reply-to so that replies don't get
messed up. Or is that not possible, and yet another way that GG is
just broken?

Except that the third possibility is not possible...if a is None, a[2] will
throw an exception...
For now at least ;-)

Actually, doesn't it mean
if a is not None, pick up index 2 of the list.
If a is None, OR IF a[2] IS NONE, then use 3.
If a is None but a[2] is not None, use

To get rid of the two other ( ?. And ?[] ), we could also define getitem and
getattr for None to always return None...;-)
I'm joking, although such an "absorbing" None may have been a good choice when
None was introduced, and maybe a way to do an absorbing-None per-statement
maybe nice...Nice e
