Would Python be better with two subtly different assignment operators?
The answer of "no" seems self evident to me.

Maybe this has been covered in the thread earlier--if so, I missed it, sorry.  But ISTM that Python already has multiple ways to perform an assignment.

All these statements assign to x:

   x = y
   for x in y:
   with y as x:
   except Exception as x:

And, if you want to get *super* pedantic:

   import x
   def x(): ...
   class x: ...

I remain -1 on 572, but I'm not sure it can genuinely be said that Python only has one way to assign a value to a variable.
