Ned Batchelder had a good presentation at PyCon 2015 about
names/values/assignments/binding: https://youtu.be/_AEJHKGk9ns?t=12m52s His
summary of all assignment operators:

X = ...
for X in ...
class X: pass
def X: pass
def fn(X): # when called, X is bound
import X
from ... import X
except ... as X:
with ... as X:

...I think only includes one other assignment type from what you listed
(function parameters) that ironically is where one could maybe blur =/:, as
doing f(x=3) and f(**{x: 3}) are usually similar (I think some C functions
react poorly?).
