You appear to be reinventing the C "ternary operator". This is
definitely a dead horse. There was already a PEP, and it was
refused.
If you actually want this, you're going to have to implement it
with a function:
def ternary(condition, true_result, false_result):
if condition:
return true_result
else:
return false_result
Almost as good, and you don't have to talk curmudgeons into providing
it for you.
Cheers,
Terry
