Correct, the truth example isn't a good example. "if argv" is better. But you can write interesting things with the operator module. For example >>> import operator >>> def fac(x): ... return reduce(operator.mul, range(1, x+1)) ... >>> fac(2) 2 >>> fac(3) 6 >>> fac(4) 24 In general one doesn't use the operator module.
