[Python-ideas] Allowing def to assign to anything

[Alexander Walters]

This too leaves artifacts in the module, which is one of the annoyances 
I am trying to eliminate.  Though I do admit that it makes the intent of 
the author clear.  It still feels less pythonic to me than allowing a 
statement that assigns to just assign to anything assignable.
