I'd caution against that, though. It's clever and cute, sure, but the
meaning of it is obfuscated enough to be unpythonic because [total > 0]
as a subscript doesn't mean anything unless you know you're taking
advantage of an implementation detail that booleans are 0 for false and
1 for true. No matter how reliable that fact may be, I don't think that
value should be stuck into a numeric context like that.

This is much more clear, and would IMHO be fine.
