Using assingment as an operator.

[Emil S. Hansen]

Hello fellow PP.

I have a simple question. In a program I have a statement like this:
while re.search("[^a-z0-9.]", domainname = raw_input("Please enter domainname: ")) != None:
        print "Error in domainname, please use lovercase letters and numbers only."

When I run the program I get a 
"TypeError: unexpected keyword argument: domainname", 
how can I use an assigment as an operator for a function?
