My reasoning is essentially the same as what I've already<br>
said about "where". To summarise, "given" sounds like<br>
something an English-speaking mathematician would write,<br>
whereas ":=" doesn't even have an obvious pronunciation.<br>
Some variation on "given" just seems greatly more pythonic<br>
to me.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
