Lawrence, maybe it was not the perfect adjective. I meant 'not beautiful' because for me it is not an expression I can easily read. It is not internalized in my brain. I know how to use it because I learnt how to do it time ago(in Learning Python) but always I have to think how it works (like a mental translation). For me the other alternative expresion is more readable: take_it if you_have_it else search_for_it this was already in my brain before I started writing python code. Thus, I prefer this option for my code. On the other hand, in my post, I proposed the and/or style because I found interesting how symmetrical it was with the one the OP was refering: (a==b) ? 'Yes' : 'No' (a==b) and 'Yes' or 'No' I know, I could write it without parenthesis but it seems more naturally organized with it and I read it faster and clearly. I dont know exactly why but it seems also safer to me. Joaquin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
