if <expr> as <name> syntax interest

[Lucid]

Thanks for the link! That covers my use cases, although I prefer as over :=...

Apparently why they didn't use as over := is discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments...ly/e1pfzgv

Quick snippet:

The reason why they didn't is because this had to work in logical expressions, and from a parsing standpoint, it would be extremely difficult to determine the assignment expression in the context manager of a comprehension containing the expression, and the assignment of the context manager itself.
