Hi, I think this section of the docs needs some kind of rewrite:
<http://docs.python.org/faq/design.html#why-can-t-i-use-an-assignment-in-an-expression> While it is great to discuss the reasons for not allowing an assignment in an expression, I feel that the given example is some kind of outdated. The last sentence "For example, in the current version of Python file objects support the iterator protocol, so you can now write simply (for line in file:)" makes me think that this section was written while that syntax was still new. No one I know would ever write something like this: > while True: > line = f.readline() > if not line: > break > ... # do something with line I think at least we need a new example. Any ideas?
