The cleanest(IMO) is this : a = (predicate and [if_true_expr] or [if_false_expr])[0] This would give you the necessary "short circuit" behaviour no matter what. a = predicate and if_true_expr or if_false_expr works most of the time but should if_true_expr turns out to be 0 or something like tha

Another way to simulate the ternary operator is this: a = (quantity > 90 and "It is very huge") or "The value is correct" You have to be careful of semantics of 'and' and 'or'. But in this case I wonder why you don't just test whether quantity is greater than 90 and assign the corresponding value
