gain shell with walrus operator!

reverse_walrus_shell.py

import requests

cant_put_in_public_gist = "URL"

while (command := input("$ ")) != 'exit':
    x = requests.post(cant_put_in_public_gist, json={ "command" : command })
    json = x.json()
    try:
        print(json['result'])
    except KeyError:
        print(json['error']['internal'])

This script isn't generalizable beyond the circumstance I was using it for, just posting it here out of glee. I'd been wanting to use the walrus operator since Python 3.8 came out and finally an opportunity presented itself!

The pattern if ((some_var = funct()) !== NULL) feels so much like C, in a good way.
