I find myself having to do the following:x = (some complex expression) y = x if x else "blah" and I was wondering if there is any built-in idiom that can remove the need to put (some complex expression) in the temporary variable x.
A common idiom for this particular case where the if-expression is also the conditional or the basic of the conditional expression is
y = <some complex expression> if not y: y = "blah" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
