This list is for people who have ideas how to improve Python, not for
those looking for help learning it.
There's such a lot of help online, it's hard to know where to send you.
This gives the answer to your question:
https://www.learnpython.org/en/Lists . This seems like a good list of
place

You’re something like the 300th person to suggest overloading assignment, but
the only one of that 300 willing to think it through, much less create a patch.

I think it is only surprising because it is not something that is familiar.
It's not like python python doesn't already have other assignment with
different behaviors, for instance:
a = "hello world"
a = 6
print(a) -> 6
class Foo:
@property
def x(self):
return self._internal
@x
You are right that there are many things to consider, and I too don't know
what the right answer is. I was more interested in the challenge of doing
it. Like I said this is only a demo, and would probably need consideration
of things like this. I had thought of the dict/list thing, and as you say

Part of the problem may be that in your toy example, there really is no reason
to overload assignment, so it’s surprising even after you get what it’s doing.

I will think about more interesting examples weekend, though my time will
probably be more family focused so I might not get any messages of
appreciable length out until sometime next week.
I do get what you are saying on the const vs immutability thing, but I was
thinking that because python work

It probably doesn't, this was just something I typed up on the fly, so is
unlikely the end result would be what you see above if it was actually
implemented.
The only way around that that I can think of now would be if there was two
functions, an impl_dictget that actually did the lookup that type
10 matches
