I really like the logic that Pythons "or" is not only short-circuit but non-typed.
So I can say y = override or default and y won't necc be True or False. If override boolean evaluates to True (which, for most classes, means not None) than y will be equal to override. Otherwise it will be equal to default. I have two questions --> Is there a handy name for this type of conditional (something as catchy as "short circuit or") and --> Is there a common idiom for taking advantage of the similar behavior of "and". The "override or default" just makes me grin every time I use it. Thanks -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
