Hi,

I would like to start a poll on Chris Angelico's PEP 572 "Assignment Expressions", restricted to Python core developers, to prepare the talk at the Language Summit: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/ The poll is on the current PEP. I propose 4 choices: * +1: you like the PEP * -1: you dislike the PEP * 0: you are not sure if you like it or not, or you have no opinon * don't reply to this poll :-)

-1 from me (on "too much pain for not enough gain" grounds).

Regards, Nick.

P.S. I quite liked the initial "expr as name" version with subscopes, but those aspects were changed based on reasonable concerns raised on python-ideas, and I think the discussion of the simplified proposal on python-dev has also raised sufficient further concerns to push the whole concept back into python-ideas territory. (I do think the discussions have clarified the nature of the cases where the current lack of any form of inline binding support can be genuinely irritating, though)
