Python DOES have it built in (at least as of 2.5), check 2.5 docs under
"What's New" - Pep 308 :
>>> x = true_value if condition else false_value
And if you wish a one liner do case then you can do :
x = {'one possibility': 1
, 'another one':2
, 'the next one is numeric':3
, 125: 4}.get(test_expression, 'Not found')
(yup smarties, it is a one liner even if I choose to span it through
multiple lines ;c) )
