Nothing prevents you from spreading the code over multiple lines, like so:
x = (if a then b
elif c then d
else e)
or even
x = (if a then
b
elif c then
d
else
e
)
especially as there are going to be parentheses around the whole thing
anyway. From a readability point of view, this is no different from
if-statement blocks, and the matter is IMO not worth dumbing down an
if-expression thingy as compared to its if-statement companion.
