A good point. Shall I write a PEP asking for a language change which
requires that that stupid = sign is replaced by a keyword reading
something like
thenameonthelefthandsideisassignedtheobjectontherighthandside ?
That's an excellent idea, and I look forward to reading the PEP.
-1 vote... It still has the problematic "assigned" term...
I'd suggest:
thefullyqualifiednameontheleftafteranysubexpressionshavebeenevaluatedisattachedtotheobjectresultingfromevaluationoftheexpressionontheright
(heh, the spell-checker suggests that
"thefullyqualifiednameontheleftafteranysubexpressionshavebeenevaluatedisattachedt"
should be replaced with "textually")
Well you can write the PEP then :)
