I've come up with a trigraph idiom, am curious if it's been done before (probably). I like to use trigraphs occasionally.
Scenario: I'm doing an RSS->Javascript conversion for our intranet. I'd like to use different CSS class if a post is new. Code: hoursOld=abs(time.time()-time.mktime(i.modified_parsed))/3600 cssClass=['rssLink','rssLinkNew'][hoursOld<12] entry='<a href="%s" class="%s" target="detail">%s</a>' % (cssClass,i['link'],i['title']) So, ['rssLink','rssLinkNew'] is index by boolean value- False:0, or True:1. I realize many will find this hideous, but 3 lines of code to do something simple seems equally bad. Thoughts? Is there a better way? - Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
