Hi, I'm using IronPython to evaluate expressions, so I can't use the return statement but have to say it in an one-liner. Using C/C++ I could use "cond ? then : else" to have an expression-if, but in Python there's no such operator. The "cond and then or else"-trick only seems to work for non-false "then"s and is not very readable. So is the pythonic way to def iif(cond, then, else_): if cond: return then; else: else_; ? But actually this is not the same, because "then" and "else_" are evaluated independently of cond...
What is the right way to have if in an expression? Thanks, Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
