Poll: Do you like the PEP 572 Assignment Expressions?

Hi,
I would like to start a poll on Chris Angelico's PEP 572 "Assignment Expressions", restricted to Python core developers, to prepare the talk at the Language Summit:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/
The poll is on the *current* PEP. I propose 4 choices:
- +1: you like the PEP
- -1: you dislike the PEP
- 0: you are not sure if you like it or not, or you have no opinon
- don't reply to this poll :-)
Just reply to this email with "+1", "0", "-1". Please don't elaborate here, it's just a quick poll, use python-dev if you want to talk :-)
The poll will end next Tuesday, May 8, the day before the Language Summit.
I propose a poll because I'm unable to track the opinion of each core dev, too many emails have been sent to python-dev, and maybe some people changed their mind during the long discussion (which started in February) :-)
Note: Obviously, it's just a poll, not a vote. Guido van Rossum is the one who will pronounce himself on the PEP, to accept to reject it, so the only one allowed to vote ;-)

I already saw polls on Twitter, but I don't know if I should trust Twitter polls because of the filter bubble. Moreover, this poll is restricted to core developers, so it's different.
There will be a session about the PEP 572 next week at the Language Summit, but I'm afraid that the session may go in all directions since I didn't see any explicit agenda nor moderator yet:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-April/153250.html
I would prefer to prepare the session to be more efficient. I also care of other topics discussed the Language Summit.
The poll is also for the ones who will not be able to attend the Language Summit.
By the way, the list of sessions is not available yet, Larry/Barry?

I'd very much like the feature, but not sure that the proposed change is a good fit today.

-1 in the current form, since an expression such as
[y := f(x), x/y] ...
is confusing (I'd read this as [y := (f(x), x/y)]
Using explicit parens around it would resolve this issue:
[(y := f(x)), x/y] ...
but even with that, I'm not excited about the additional line noise this adds - there's a reason why we have for-loops in the language after all, explicit is better than having to look thrice, etc. etc. :-)

-1 from me (on "too much pain for not enough gain" grounds).
Regards, Nick.
P.S. I quite liked the initial "expr as name" version with subscopes, but those aspects were changed based on reasonable concerns raised on python-ideas, and I think the discussion of the simplified proposal on python-dev has also raised sufficient further concerns to push the whole concept back into python-ideas territory. (I do think the discussions have clarified the nature of the cases where the current lack of any form of inline binding support can be genuinely irritating, though)

You asked two different questions, hence two answers.
- The title asks "Do I like the PEP 572 Assignment Expressions"? Yes, at least +.5, and if forced, I might well round up to 1.
The poll is on the *current* PEP. I propose 4 choices:
- However, the PEP itself also contains an only loosely related and inadequately discussed proposal to change comprehension scoping semantics (I presume before we are done with 2.7) and possibly break existing code without a deprecation period. I think all 3 aspects of this are wrong. Hence I am -1 on this part of the PEP and the PEP as a whole.
I think some, but not all, of other answers are influenced by which version of the question a person is answering.

Hi,
I would like to start a poll on Chris Angelico's PEP 572 "Assignment Expressions", restricted to Python core developers, to prepare the talk at the Language Summit:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/
The poll is on the *current* PEP. I propose 4 choices:
- +1: you like the PEP
- -1: you dislike the PEP
- 0: you are not sure if you like it or not, or you have no opinon
- don't reply to this poll :-) -1

I propose a poll because I'm unable to track the opinion of each core dev, too many emails have been sent to python-dev, and maybe some people changed their mind during the long discussion (which started in February) :-)
FWIW, contrary to the many -1 responses, I don't think the actual sentiment is all torches-and-pitchforks. :) There are a variety of well-reasoned opinions that mostly result in "meh" and "I don't like the idea of it but don't know how it will actually work out" (or maybe I'm just projecting myself onto everyone else). This is the point where I have a lot of respect for Guido's uncanny intuition as reflected in Python's history.

-1.
Registering my vote. I studied only the PEP and didn't follow the debate/discussion.

With the changes suggested by Guido, +1
