Yep: Python 2.5a2 (trunk:46491M, May 27 2006, 14:43:55) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> "Yes" if 1 == 1 else "No" 'Yes' > In the meanwhile, there are (sometime trickyà ways to get the same result: > > a = 1 == 1 and "Yes" or "No" > a = ("No", "Yes")[1 == 1] And just to give some examples where the conditional expression will show a difference:: >>> True and 0 or [] [] >>> 0 if True else [] 0 >>> def f(): ... print "don't evaluate me" ... return 'f' ... >>> def g(): ... return 'g' ... >>> (f(), g())[True] don't evaluate me 'g' >>> g() if True else f() 'g' STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
