Another way to simulate the ternary operator is this: a = (quantity > 90 and "It is very huge") or "The value is correct"
You have to be careful of semantics of 'and' and 'or'. But in this case I wonder why you don't just test whether quantity is greater than 90 and assign the corresponding value to a, e.g., : if quantity > 90: a = "It is huge" else: a = "Time for tea." Clarity is a virtue, and simulating ternary operator doesn't always serve that end. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
