Why?  It's already handled as an exception in the syntax.

In C, what you say makes sense, because "b=1" is an expression as
well as an assignment. But I don't think Python reads it that way -- it 
just has code to recognize multiple assignment as a statement. I think
I remember reading that in the Language Reference or something.

Cheers,
