Just to add. I haven’t thought about evaluation. Thus, to prevent
evaluation of unnecessary code, introduction of C-style expression is
needed anyways:
1. result = bar is None ? default : bar
The below would have to evaluate all arguments, thus not achieving
benefits of PEP505.
2. result = ifelse(bar is None, default, bar)
So I would vote for something similar to:
result = bar is None ? default : bar
Where default and bar is only evaluated if needed. Although not to the
extent as initially intended, it would offer satisfiable solutions to
several proposals.
Well, default is only evaluated if needed; bar is always evaluated.
What is wrong with the Python equivalent
result = default if bar is None else bar
or if you prefer
result = bar if bar is not None else default
Perhaps you didn't know about this construction?
It does exactly the same as the C version and is more readable. Or am I
missing something?
