Question: are we talking Python or JavaScript?

Trying to find a word-for-word translation serves as badly in

The above probably only 'works' (the way you expect) in the REPL.

Again!

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."

Check out "The Zen of Python" and PEP-0008 for Python idioms.

Exactly, just as driving on the left side of the road will be fine in 
some countries but cause a crash in others. Learn the local rules FIRST!


The 'walrus operator' could be applied:

 >>> x = 5
 >>> y = (x := x + 1); x
6
 >>> x, y
(6, 6)

However, if such were submitted for Code Review, unhappiness would result.


Was the question re-phrased to: how to ... in Python, we'd end-up with 
something more like this:

 >>> x = 5  # define
 >>> x += 1  # increment
 >>> y = x  # alias
 >>> x, y
(6, 6)
