[New-bugs-announce] [issue38558] Data Structures documentation out of sync with new Walrus operator

[Matt Ward]

New submission from Matt Ward <matt at matthewward.net>:

The 3.8 documentation still includes the text.

```Note that in Python, unlike C, assignment cannot occur inside expressions. C programmers may grumble about this, but it avoids a common class of problems encountered in C programs: typing = in an expression when == was intended.```

https://docs.python.org/3.8/tutorial/datastructures.html#more-on-conditions

This would seem to no longer be the case with with the inclusion of https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/ in 3.8 unless I am misunderstanding the above statement.
