So anywhere someone uses x?y:z you recommend they use "x and y or z"
instead, or else "[y,z][x]", but not:
if x:
val = y
else:
val = z
I still would recommend just using an if statement, even though it is
not easier to type than a ternary expression. It is the most readable
and understandable equivalent in Python. And since his question was
about an easier way to do it in Python, and I don't believe your
alternative are any easier either, I believe the answer is still no.
