See http://docs.python.org/reference/expressions.html#boolean-operations
conditional_expression ::= or_test ["if" or_test "else" expression]
...
The expression x if C else y first evaluates C (not x); if C is
true, x is
evaluated and its value is returned; otherwise, y is evaluated and its
value is returned.
Gandalf,
I'd add to the above that this expression was only added to Python in
v2.5, so if you want your code to be compatible with versions of
Python <= 2.4, you should not use the ternary if.
