Python uses "as NAME" for things that are quite different from this, so it's confusing I wrote in https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-June/154066.html that this is easily refutable. Looks like not for everybody. Okay, here goes:
The constructs that currently use `as' are:
import module as m
except Exception as e:
with expr as obj:
In
with', there's no need to assign bothexpr' and its enter() result -- because the whole idea ofwith' is to put the object throughenter', and because a sane__enter__()' implementation will returnself' anyway (or something with the same semantic -- i.e. effectively `self'). But just in case, the double-assignment can be written as:
with (expr as obj) as ctx_obj:
by giving "as" lower priority than `with'. As I said, the need for this is nigh-nonexistent.
- `import' doesn't allow expressions (so no syntactic clash here), but the semantic of "as" here is equivalent to the AE, so no confusion here.
- Same goes for
except: doesn't accept expressions, same semantic.
So, with "as" only `with' becomes the exception -- and an easily explainable one since its whole purpose is to implicitly call the context manager interface.
