Sounds great! I'd love to hear what people think. As an example of how the new functionality of PEP 575 can be used, I changed functools.lrucache to implement the lrucachewrapper class as subclass of basefunction. I added this to the reference implementation https://github.com/jdemeyer/cpython/tree/pep575

It is not so much the use, but the abuse that I am worried about. If their was a way to limit the complexity of expression allowed around the use of the name assigned to by :=, then that would be a start. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
