like I said, the whole pattern is more than two lines. the pattern is actually assign-test-fallback-test-fallback-test-etc.
to quote the PEP:
reductor = dispatch_table.get(cls)
if reductor:
rv = reductor(x)
else:
reductor = getattr(x, "__reduce_ex__", None)
if reductor:
rv = reductor(4)
else:
reductor = getattr(x, "__reduce__", None)
if reductor:
rv = reductor()
else:
raise Error(
"un(deep)copyable object of type %s" % cls)
becomes:
if reductor := dispatch_table.get(cls):
rv = reductor(x)
elif reductor := getattr(x, "__reduce_ex__", None):
rv = reductor(4)
elif reductor := getattr(x, "__reduce__", None):
rv = reductor()
else:
raise Error("un(deep)copyable object of type %s" % cls)
