[New-bugs-announce] [issue17022] Inline assignation uses the newly created object

[Gabriel Nistor]

New submission from Gabriel Nistor:

I am using Lubuntu x64 version and python 3.2.3
I have a tree search method:

node = self
while xpaths:
    xpath = xpaths.popleft()
    for path, child in node.childrens.items():
        if path == xpath:
            node = child
            break
    else:
        node = node.childrens[xpath] = Node(xpath)
return node

This fails because the node is created and then the node.childrens[xpath] assignation is done on the new created node rather then the old node, I needed to do something like:
        child = node.childrens[xpath] = Node(xpath)
        node = child
to have the proper behavior.
