Learning Python, newbie question about strings and evaluation

[Larz60+]

Of course it fails, and why do you keep saying it can't be done when it can.
you can't say:

return x > y = True

it would have to be

return True

I don't know why you would do that, what would be the purpose of calling it,
just set whatever you would use the return vale for to the value you want without calling
a function.

Enough on this foolishness, there are other posts to answer
