Just wondering, but in discussing this PEP has one considered
making the ';' into an expression too, with the value being
the value of the last expression?
I just ask because sometimes I have a loop that now often is written
as follows:
while True:
a = prepare_a()
b = prepare_b()
if not condition(a, b):
break
Do other stuff
Now with the := assignment it seems I will be able to write it like this:
while [a := prepare_a(), b := prepare_b(), condition(a, b)][-1]:
Do other stuff.
But IMO it would be nicer if it could be written as:
while a := prepare_a(); b := prepare_b(); condition(a, b):
Do other stuff
