Bug description:
Python 3.12.8 (tags/v3.12.8:2dc476b, Dec 3 2024, 19:30:04) [MSC v.1942 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> lambda x: foo := 2
File "<stdin>", line 1
lambda x: foo := 2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: cannot use assignment expressions with lambda
>>> lambda x: (foo := 2)
<function <lambda> at 0x00000229CC40E0C0>
IIRC, until today I believed that you could never use an assignment expression in a lambda. I was disabused of this notion only by reading PEP 572 itself. I believe the SyntaxError should ideally read something along the lines of "cannot use unparenthesized assignment expressions with lambda".
I wasn't sure to what category to file this under exactly, sorry if I chose wrong.
