The new version is a little shorter (not important), without "technical" lines with reductor assignments and with the important getattr() expressions on the if lines (subtle and subjective, but somewhat important), and consistently indented with similar things at the same level (quite important).

All this for the small cost of learning a few simple scoping rules and the negligible cost of occasionally discovering the special cases in which the new syntax cannot be used.
