Does that mean the whole idea is dead? Because as I see it, there are only two ways this could possibly be implemented:
1. As a statement similar to import, which you declared dead.
Any use of the word 'import' (even in combination with other words) is verboten. Anything *starting* with 'from' also sounds like a bad idea.
2. As an assignment, which you declared dead IIRC primarily because the RHS should not be "peeking" into the LHS.
Right.
Or am I interpreting "similar to import" too broadly? Is a statement using other words still on the table?
d = {"foo": 42} <something> d <something> 42 # or the other way around assert foo == 42
This I don't understand -- why would the '42' appear in the extraction syntax? I guess you meant "foo"? Maybe we can riff on extract foo from d ? Though honestly that looks like it would be extracting d.foo, no d['foo']. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
