Hello to all I am trying to learn python at the moment studying an example program (cftp.py from the twisted framework, if you want to know)
There I found a line foo = (not f and 1) or 0 In this case f may be None or a string. If I am not wrong here, one could simply write foo = not f because if f = None: (not f) = true, (true and 1) = true, (true or 0) = true or if f = 'bar' (not f) = false (false and 1) = false (false or 0) = false So why bothering with the longer version? I hope, I made clear, what I want... CU Kristian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
