Variable assignment in expressions

Question

Here is my code to generate values in the fibonnacci sequence below 10,000,000.

  3 fibs = [1,1]
  4 while((x = fibs[-1] + fibs[-2]) <= 10000000):
  5             


        

Answer 1

from functools import partial
from itertools import imap, islice, takewhile
import operator
fibs = [1, 1]
for x in takewhile(partial(operator.ge, 10000000),
                   imap(operator.add, fibs, islice(fibs, 1, None))):
    fibs.append(x)

Oh wait, you said "simplest"? Nevermind then.
