`... except ... with ...` more closely mirrors the inline if-else
syntax, which I think is the idea, and it doesn't use a colon.
Sorry, I don't understand. Presuambly you're referring to
x = expr1 if cond else expr2
I don't see how adding 'with' adds any resemblance for this.
I take the point about the colon. But: there was the usual shedload of
bikeshedding over the syntax when PEP 463 was discussed, and while it
will be up to Chris if he revives the PEP, it doesn't seem to me to be
particularly helpful to go though it again.
Best wishes

Er, how is this different from
(value = func() except Exception: default)
which is the PEP 463 syntax?

True.
