think match expressions are used for the equivalent of conditionals that
carry the condition value into the body of the expression, and all blocks
return the result of the last statement, so you can do things like:

Go is similar to Python; it's doesn't allow assignment in expression.
And Go has similar syntax like above;

for x := foo(); x {
     bar(x)
}
if err := baz(); err != nil {
     return err
}

I like Go and I think this syntax can be ported to Python.
But it help only if/while statements.  It doesn't help list comprehension.
And Go doesn't have list comprehension.
