"Assignment is a statement" -- that's exactly the point under discussion.

Not any more it isn't. We've now gone from discussion to bitter recriminations wink

"del is a statement" -- yes, granted

"function and class declarations are statements" -- class, yes, but you have "def" and "lambda" as statement and expression equivalents.

Even class can be re-written as a call to type(), if you need to. It's probably not practical to do so in anything but the simplest cases, but it is there.
