Hi,
I like this idea.
I've put together a short patch that will implement inline
assignment.
if f() - name:
use(name)
or more powerfully:
if f() - name == 'spam':
usespam(name)
the old syntax if something as x: is still available if that
is what is desired.
if (f() == 'spam') - name:
newname = name.replace('p', 'h')
Patched against Py3k please kick the tires, I've added some tests and
developed a PEP.

Regarding the proposed syntax:
if (f() == 'spam') - name:
newname = name.replace('p', 'h')
Surely that should assign the *bool* result of comparing f()
with 'spam' to name? Doing anything else is opening the door to a
world of pain.
if (f() == 'spam') - name # binds name=f()
if ('spam' == f()) - name # binds 'spam' to name?
if (f() == g()) - name # binds what to name?
if (f() or g()) - name # binds what to name?

Jervis Whitley jervi...@gmail.com added the comment: If we allow this, how many of the following will be allowed? if expr as name: block while expr as name: block expr as name # alternative to name = expr This patch implements your final point: expr as name (albeit with a nominal '-' RARROW rather than 'as') the patch creates a new expression, assexp (assignment expression) there is no need to implement this for countless other if/while/for because they accept expressions and this assignment is an expression. (Note it is a patch for a different behaviour than the OP suggested.) As for using -, please no, there are plenty of languages that use line noise, but Python doesn't need to be one of them. I have begun a discussion about this on python-ideas to give it some air as suggested by Raymond. We can always close the issue as 'wont fix' if it doesn't get off the ground. This issue (although addressing an old concern dating back to the beginning of python) has been sitting unloved for 9 or so months and I felt that we should at least resolve it.

You are correct. It does assign the result of the bool. I have
made an error in creating the example. This is what happens when
I copy and paste and don't check the result.
should read
if f - name:
# use name, (pointless example but in line with the OP's suggestion)
Thanks for picking this up.

Matthew Barnett pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com added the comment: At the moment binding occurs either right-to-left with =, eg. x = y where x is the new name, or left-to-right, eg. import x as y where y is the new name. If the order is to be right-to-left then using as seems to be the best choice. On the other hand, if there should be a form of binding explicitly for use in an expression in order to prevent accidental use of = then the order should probably be the same as =, ie right-to-left, and a new symbol is needed (using punctuation feels preferable somehow, because = uses punctuation). The only symbol I can think of is ~=. How does this: if ob ~= map[x][y].overpay: ob.blit(x, y) look compared to: if map[x][y].overpay as ob: ob.blit(x, y) IMHO, of course. -- nosy: +mrabarnett ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1714448 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Steven D'Aprano st...@pearwood.info added the comment: Matthew suggested ~= instead of - or as. I dislike this because ~= first makes me think of approximately equal to, and then it makes me think of augmented assignment, and only then do I remember that although ~ is used in Python for bitwise-not, ~= is not a legal augmented assignment. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1714448 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
