Hi,

I read the source code of of `humanize/filesize.py' and find the 24 line
writing as follows:

base = 1024 if (gnu or binary) else 1000

It seems this is not the standard usage of if ... else ....

Is this a variant of lambda or some others?  Could you please give me
some more hints?

It's a "conditional expression" (also called a "ternary if") and it's mentioned in Python's documentation.

In this case it does the same as:

if gnu or binary:
    base = 1024
else:
    base = 1000
