My idea is not "assignment blocks" those already exist. `def` and `class` blocks are both syntaxes that assign to some name.

These two examples become equivalent: def ignore_exc(exc_type): return def (func): @wraps(func) return def (*args, **kwargs): try: return func(*args, **kwargs) except exc_type: pass def ignore_exc(exc_type): def decorator(func): @wraps(func) def wrapped_func(*args, **kwargs): try: return func(*args, **kwargs) except exc_type: pass return wrapped_func return decorator
Essentially this is a limited multi-line lambda. Either people are going to be surprised that you can only use it in a return statement or you have to open the whole can of worms about multi-line lambdas. Good luck on the latter.
