OK, but then how about introducing assignment expressions with the "="

compilers warn about assignment expressions without parens), e.g.
Using a single "=" for assignment expressions isn't going to happen.
Period.
Huh, I didn't want to irritate anyone!
No worries. It's just not going to happen. ;)
Guido wrote [1] on python-ideas:
I also think it's fair to at least reconsider adding inline
assignment, with the "traditional" semantics (possibly with mandatory
parentheses). This would be easier to learn and understand for people
who are familiar with it from other languages (C++, Java, JavaScript).
I interpreted this in the way that he at least doesn't rule out "= with
parens" completely. Perhaps he meant ":= with parens", but that would
seem redundant.
Ah. I believe he was referring to not having a statement-local binding, but a normal binding instead (so either local
or global depending on where the expression occurred).
