I don't get it. Why not just write:

>>> f'{foo}=' 'foo=5'

there's a pattern in debugging that basically looks like

   print('foo=',foo)
like all languages should, if a pattern is wide-spread, useful and basically boilerplate, python decided to create a language shortcut for it.

   print('f{foo=}')
