Encapsulating the atrocity of umask handling with Python's walrus operator:

os.umask(current_umask := os.umask(0))

This isn't clearly *better*, but at least it's clearly shorter. Without `:=`, we'd need two lines:

current_umask = os.umask(0)
os.umask(current_umask)

Note: The awkwardness is a necessary consequence of how POSIX handles umask. Also, neither version is threadsafe.

one thing I would love for python is to be able to say
if not s := some_query(args):
stuff if the query fails
else:
stuff if the query succeeds and you have s assigned
