I'm not sure if you are serious or not. But if the programmer can't do mental adjustment for ":=" instead of "=" I'm not sure he will be able to develop in C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Fortran, Ada, SmallTalk, Eiffel at the same time anyway. The most important mental adjustment is about the design and the way to use the language, structure the code, certainly not in changing ":=" by "="... But maybe you see Eiffel and Python as so close that you don't need mental adjustment ?
