Sorry to go off on a tangent, but in my code I often have stuff like
this at the start of functions:
tracks = something if tracks is None else tracks
or, in the case where I don't intend for the function to be passed
non-default Falsey values:
tracks = tracks or something
Is there any reason why the two-line version that avoids the ternary
operator should be preferred to the above?
Only if you need to support Python 2.4, which doesn't have the ternary if
operator :-)
Thanks, and likewise to everyone else who replied.
