assert a := 1 produces unclear error message #138716
Description
Feature or enhancement
After 6bc65c3 is merged, there's one more case we can handle. See this todo:
cpython/Lib/test/test_syntax.py
Lines 2693 to 2696 in 6bc65c3
What happens? assert does not allow := without () in its body.
We need to improve the error message, because current state is not really clear for the user. Why there's a syntax error? How to fix it?
