You've already changed your position, so this is only marginally relevant now, but if the match expression is long and complex, duplicating it is messy. Using the walrus operator is an alternative, but it's not clear to me how readable that would be if it were only needed for one case out of many. I'd need to see a "real" example to have a good feel on that. (FWIW, I do find that with my ageing eyes, it's easy to miss the dot prefix. And I feel that the use of a dot would make Uncle Timmy sad :-() Paul _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/TAHDC6DWDSH3KMBNNUHR5A5HDS7BKLVR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
