Write assignment expressions in Python 3.8 flavour, and let walrus worry about back-port issues 🍺

  Since PEP 572, Python introduced assignment expressions syntax in version 3.8. For those who wish to use assignment expressions in their code, walrus provides an intelligent, yet imperfect, solution of a backport compiler by replacing assignment expressions syntax with old-fashioned syntax, which guarantees you to always write assignment expressions in Python 3.8 flavour then compile for compatibility later.
