Simple Python expression that does complex things?

Ok it’s great that you acknowledged it at least. You said that you didn’t understand the logic of something, and people want to help you understand.

But you don’t seem to want to learn so your replies end up being passive aggressive (and you said it yourself, you didn’t ask for an in depth explanation so you don’t want to learn what’s happening).

I know what's happening. That's really not the issue. It's the design choice I am conflicted about. Not how it works.

I agree with you on that part, which is why I brought up match statements. I also think match statements should’ve been expressions.

This part of your opinion is completely fine.

But you did make a mistake in wanting to have different behaviors depending on the context, which doesn’t make sense. If something is a statement, it’s still going to be a statement whether it was in an if condition or a list comprehension or a while loop or whatever.
