let3
Assign variables wherever, whenever you want.
Overview
let3 is a strict fork of Taylor Marks’s let package with a fix allowing to work with Python3 or higher and with a little code reformatting and minor improvements.
Overview below is a copy from the original let website (with only the necessary changes regarding let3).
Installation
Install via pip:
$ python -m pip install --upgrade let3Done.
Quick Start
Once you’ve installed, you can really quickly verified that it works with just this:
>>> from let import let
>>> if let(count = len('Hello World!')):
... print(count)
12Documentation
In C, Java, and many other languages, it’s possible to assign variables inside of if or while condition statements. This is useful in allowing you to concisely both assign the value, and check whether a condition is met.
This ability doesn’t exist in Python, because of the thought that when people write something like:
if row = db.fetch_results():
...They may have actually meant:
if row == db.fetch_results():
...Personally, I have never made this mistake. It seems far more like a theoretical mistake that could plausibly happen than one that actually happens and warrants removing features, as was chosen in Python.
Anyways, the let function in this module gives you something very close to that ability in other languages. A few examples:
if let(name = longInstanceName.longAttributeName):
...
# Yes, db.fetch_results() should just return a generator. No, it doesn't.
while let(results = db.fetch_results()):
...
if let(count = len(nameValuePair)) != 1:
raise Exception('Bad amount: {}'.format(count))Installation prerequisites

Changes of the original let:
1.0.1 (Feb 25, 2016)
Let now assigns the variables to the global namespace always - never the local namespace. The Python interpreter sometimes optimizes variables within the local namespace - it’s best not to change values behind its back, as it leads to very difficult to discover bugs.
1.0.0 (Feb. 7, 2016)
