Bah, what's the fun in that?
'You have scored %i point%.*s' % (score, score!=1, 's')
BTW, the layout of the original bugs me slightly:
>> 'You have scored %i point%s' % (score, 's'*(score != 1))
I don't like having spaces around != and none around *. I'd either
squash the != up or space out the *:
'You have scored %i point%s' % (score, 's'*(score!=1))
'You have scored %i point%s' % (score, 's' * (score != 1))
Operators should always have at least as much space around them as
more tightly-binding operators, IMO. In this instance, it'd be
reasonable to squash the != and space the *, or to squash both, or to
space both, but not the "backward" spacing of the original :)
But that's just my opinion.
