FWIW, I think Terry's recollection is pretty close to the "historical truth". Guido could have decided two years ago, sparing us the PEP 308 ordalia. So, I am happy that at the end we will have a conditional operator, but I am not happy of how the process worked out. It was just an enormous waste of resources that could have been employed much better :-( Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
