> convertTo == "C" and convertToCelsius(temp) or > convertToFahrenheit(temp) This idiom has a pitfall. Consider A and B or C If B can evaluate to a false value, such as None or 0, the expression will not do what you intend. This idiom is only safe when you are sure that B will never evaluate to false. In Python 2.5 there is a better way to write it: B if A else C This is a safer way to write your program.
