a little trap revealed (was Re: Let's Talk About Lambda Functions!)

[Michele Simionato]

Now I see the source of my confusion. I thought the print "statement"
was
actually an expression with result None. However in Python 

result=print("something")

gives a syntax error. Then my question is: why Guido decided to keep
the distinction between statements (with no value returned) and
expressions ? what are the advantages ? is it a matter of personal
taste ? Sorry if these
questions sounds naive,
