Operators

.. _cpydiff_syntax_assign_expr:

MicroPython allows using := to assign to the variable of a comprehension, CPython raises a SyntaxError.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Cause:** MicroPython is optimised for code size and doesn't check this case.

**Workaround:** Do not rely on this behaviour if writing CPython compatible code.

Sample code::

    print([i := -1 for i in range(4)])

Spaces
------

.. _cpydiff_syntax_spaces:

uPy requires spaces between literal numbers and keywords, CPy doesn't
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sample code::

    try:
        print(eval("1and 0"))
    except SyntaxError:
        print("Should have worked")
    try:
        print(eval("1or 0"))
    except SyntaxError:
        print("Should have worked")
    try:
        print(eval("1if 1else 0"))
    except SyntaxError:
        print("Should have worked")

Unicode
-------

Unicode name escapes are not implemented
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
