[Python-ideas] Inline assignments using "given" clauses

[Juancarlo Añez]

I think that "expr as y"  was discarded too quickly.

It would be a syntax completely familiar to Python programmers, and the new
semantics would be obvious. That choice would also be in line with the Zen
of Python.

The special cases that may arise over "except"  and "with"  can be worked
out and documented.

Cheers,
