Hi,
I find a common idiom in Python is:
x = x or 'some other value'
This is highly reminiscent of the problem inplace operators solve.
Would it be a good idea to consider an inplace operator for this, perhaps:
x or= 'some other value'
?
Thanks,
Cammil
I have used the idiom sometimes:
Dir = Dir or os.curdir
FileSpec = FileSpec or '*'
But I think using an or= operator looks bad and obscure. And it's one
more thing to learn when learning Python.
