Conditional expressions in Python 2.5

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

Some of the background on http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/ 
pep-308.html sounds _more_ than familiar...

"There have been endless tedious discussions of syntax .."

"Candidates included C's cond ? true_v : false_v, if cond then true_v  
else false_v, and 16 other variations."  (16!)



"Guido van Rossum eventually chose a surprising syntax:

x = true_value if condition else false_value"


I am _NOT_ suggesting Lua to do the same.  But bringing this up,  
since it does seem relevant.  And weird. ;)
