If your code blocks are a single statement, you can write:
try: import windows_module
except ImportError: import unix_module
but most people will say that is ugly and be spread out:
try:
import windows_module
except ImportError:
import unix_module
I can think of one use-case.
Suppose this:
try:
import windows_module as module
except ImportError:
import unix_module as module
could be shortened to this:
import windows_module else unix_module as module
Not that I'm in favour of it, because it occurs too rarely to be worth a
special syntax.
