Personally, I don't like this feature of the language. I find a ternary operator that uses symbols that can also be binary operators confusing and inconsistent with the way operators usually work/the way terms are usually associated. It has the charm of being something you'd "naturally" write in the context of non-programming mathematics, at the cost of being very odd indeed in the context of programming in general and Python in particular. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
