you can do this with boolean operators in early python versions

Right, that's what I meant by 'use and/or for inline conditionals' in
the above statement, and it's what the code I was responding to did.
this doesn't quite work if trueval happens to evaluate to false, so in
python 2.5 you can write
a = trueval if condition else falseval
Cool, I didn't know about that. Haven't been paying too much
attention to Python lately, and the python I've got on this box isn't
up to date. It's definitely nicer to have a conditional expression
than to have to rely on the short-circuit behavior of boolean
expressions.
