Any word on chaining? That is, what would happen with the following constructs: A if B else C if D else F A if B if C else D else F The first one is the tricky bit - it could be either (A if B else C) if D else F or A if B else (C if D else F) I'd expect the former from left-> right semantics, but reading the unparenthesized form, I'd see "A if B else ..." note that B is true, and conclude the expression evaluated to A (which would be wrong if D is false). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
