New submission from Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com>:
The walrus operator breaks f-strings, because the f-string scanner sees the
colon as the end of the expression.
>>> x = '10'
>>> f'{x:=10}'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: '=' alignment not allowed in string format specifier
This becomes: format(x, '=10'), which is an error if x is a string.
