I never seen this idiom before, but it can be a good replacement for a hypothetic syntax for assignment in comprehensions. It changes the original comprehension less than other approaches, just adds yet one element in a sequence of for-s and if-s. I think that after using it more widely it will become pretty idiomatic.My questions are 1) will this become idiomatic enough to be able to understand at a glance what is going on, rather than having to pause to reason about what that 1-element list-like syntax actually means, and 2) will this encourage even more complicated comprehensions that are less readable than just expanding the code into a for-loop?
I think everyone will have to pause when encounter this idiom the first time. Next time it will look more common. But the same is happened with other idioms like "lambda x=x:", "'...' % (x,)", "x = x or {}", etc. This is a correct Python syntax, and you don't need to know anything special, besides learned from the tutorial, for understanding it.
All other alternatives (except the first one, which looks to me less readable than iterating a 1-element list) can't be used as an expression. Then require several statements. At least four statements in the case of a for-loop.
