Re: [Python-ideas] Yet another idea for assignment expressions

I kind of strangely like this, but it does something completely different from parens or []. Those do have something in common - func(param) and indexable[index] both result in some value obtained in some way by combining the two names - either it's the result of func when called with param, or it's the some part of indexable identified by index. expr{name} would have a value equal to that of expr, and actually change name (and the change to the contained name is something [] never does (AFAIK), and I daresay most people would agree a function call shouldn't either.)
