(I recommend doing it this way in C, too.)
This is okay for if-clauses, but sucks for while-loops:
while (fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), f)) {
printf("%s\n", buf);
}
is much shorter than
char *tmp;
tmp = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), f);
while (tmp) {
printf("%s\n", buf);
tmp = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), f);
}
For the case where you want to do this in an elif-clause, look for the
recent thread "C-like assignment expression?" which list some
workarounds. Or just Google this newsgroup for "assignment
expression". It's one of few minor irritating things in Python
syntax.
Alright, I will. Thanks.

Johannes
