Oh dear, perhaps you had better get the Python developers to update the
grammar that Python uses as that seems to think it's an assignment:
assignment_stmt ::= (target_list "=")+ (expression_list |
yield_expression)
target_list ::= target ("," target)* [","]
target ::= identifier
| "(" target_list ")"
| "[" target_list "]"
| attributeref
| subscription
| slicing
