Re: [Python-ideas] Quick idea: defining variables from functions that take the variable name

because the compiler does it for us. Likewise we have @ decorator syntax to avoid writing the function name three times:

def spam(): ...

spam = decorate(spam)

This solves the same problem for ordinary assignment: how to get the name or names on the left hand side over to the right hand side without re-typing them as strings?

So, why don't do it for all assignments without a special syntax? Btw. there would be huge use-case for Django development. So, given your explanation, it sounds useful. Sven
