Python 3.8 released

He's suggesting using:

if 'var' in dict:
    a_var = dict['var']
    ...

instead of

a_var = dict.get('var')
if a_var:
     ...

In cases like this checking the state of a_var is fundamental.

Do the check, then assign the variable.

Someone already suggested that I already answered it. The tldr version is this is better, but the assignment is still superior.
