As I initially said, I just don't find this choice list fair. and it should be: 1) "target = expr" (which would be first intuitive idea from user's PoV, and if can't be made then explained to Python people why not) 2) "target := expr" (as probably best close alternative) 3) "target ? expr" (where ? is some other word/character - IIRC "target from expr" was proposed once) That's it. But well, if I compare to your choice list - there is ":=" option you have as well :) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
