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)])

+--------------------------------------------+----------------------+
| CPy output:                                | uPy output:          |
+--------------------------------------------+----------------------+
| ::                                         | ::                   |
|                                            |                      |
|       File "<stdin>", line 7               |     [-1, -1, -1, -1] |
|         print([i := -1 for i in range(4)]) |                      |
|                  ^                         |                      |
|     SyntaxError: invalid syntax            |                      |
+--------------------------------------------+----------------------+

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")

+-------------+------------------------+
| CPy output: | uPy output:            |
+-------------+------------------------+
| ::          | ::                     |
|             |                        |
|     0       |     Should have worked |
|     1       |     Should have worked |
|     1       |     Should have worked |
+-------------+------------------------+

Unicode
-------

.. _cpydiff_syntax_unicode_nameesc:

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

Sample code::

    print("\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A}")

+-------------+-----------------------------------------------+
