Formatter: long walrus operator expression introduces parentheses

[tjkuson]

This seems similar to #7246 which was closed as completed, but reproducible in the latest 0.1.4 release.

Input:

if True:
    if True:
        if True:
            if True:
                if foo := some.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.long.function(
                    search.study_id
                ):
                    pass

Ruff formatter output:

if True:
    if True:
        if True:
            if True:
                if (
                    foo
                    := some.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.long.function(
                        search.study_id
                    )
                ):
                    pass

Black doesn't make any changes to the input file.

Behaviour is the same for long method chains.

Input:

if True:
    if True:
        if True:
            if True:
                if foo == some.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.long_function_name(
                    bar
                ):
                    pass

Output:

if True:
    if True:
        if True:
            if True:
                if (
                    foo
                    == some.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.long_function_name(
                        bar
                    )
                ):
                    pass

EDIT: I marked this as outdated as the revised reproduction in the original post now details this behaviour.

I see the same behavior in Black, or am I misunderstanding?

Sorry, I made an error in the reproduction!

        if True:
            if True:
                if foo := some.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.very.long.function(
                    search.study_id
                ):
                    pass

(I've updated the original post to include the proper reproduction.)

It seems that black formats the walrus operator more closely to assignments where it only breaks the right but never the left (or before/after the operator), even if doing so would help fitting the content on the line.
