I'm sure this is a popular one, but after Googling for a while I
couldn't figure out how to pull this off.
Let's say I have this initializer on a class:
def __init__(self, **params):
I'd like to short-circuit the assignment of class field values passed in
this dictionary to something like this:
self.SomeField = \
params.has_key("mykey") ? params["mykey"] : None)
Obviously I know this is not actual Python syntax, but what would be the
equivalent? I'm trying to avoid this, basically:
if params.has_key("mykey"):
self.SomeField = params["mykey"]
else:
self.SomeField = None
This is not a big deal of course, but I guess my main goal is to try and
figure out of I'm not missing something more esoteric in the language
that lets me do this.
Thanks in advance.
The syntax is a bit different, but:
result = (true_value if condition else false_value)
is how it is in Pytthon:
self.SomeField = (params['mykey'] if params.has_key('mykey') else None)
