Right now, Light Table is only marginally useful for python, because it doesn't show the value of assignments inline, the way it does for expressions, requiring python users to add expressions to the code after the assignments to see the value of the assignments.
I realize that this is the behavior of the python interpreter itself, however, one potential way to circumvent it would be for Light Table to detect assignments, and behind the scenes pass the left hand side of the assignment to the interpreter as an expression to get the value after the assignment and display that in the Light Table editor to the right of the assignment instead of a not-so-helpful checkmark.
