    Pseudocode examples on Wikipedia usually use := as the assignment operator, like Pascal does (I haven’t found any counterexamples yet).

    You can’t use it in Python directly as it would be a SyntaxError:

    >>> a := 1
      File "<stdin>", line 1
        a := 1
          ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
    

    Use

    a = 1
    

    instead.
