New submission from Михаил Кыштымов <mister.r...@gmail.com>:
Assignment expression in assert causes SyntaxError
Minimal case:
```
assert var := None
```
Error:
```
File "<input>", line 1
assert var := None
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
```
Workaround:
```
assert (var := None)
```
My use case:
```
my_dict = dict()
assert value := my_dict.get('key')
```
