The main problem to me with the exception catching expression is that
you need to add the exception name and several keywords, and it makes
real-world examples too long, so you will need to split the expression
on several lines, and add extra parenthesis. And in this case there is
no much difference between expression
x = (
<long expression>
except LongExceptionName:
<other long expression>
)
and statement
try:
x = <long expression>
except LongExceptionName:
x = <other long expression>
(actually the statement may be shorter and better aligned).
Other problem specific to the PEP 463 syntax is using colon in
expression. Colon is mainly used before indented block in complex
statements. It was introduced in this role purely for aesthetic reasons.
Using it in other context is very limited (dict display, lambda,
annotations, what else?). Even the "if" expression does not use it.
