New Features
============
Assignment expressions
----------------------
There is new syntax (the "walrus operator", ``:=``) to assign values
to variables as part of an expression. Example::
if (n := len(a)) > 10:
print(f"List is too long ({n} elements, expected <= 10)")
See :pep:`572` for a full description.

.. TODO: Emily will sprint on docs at PyCon US 2019.
