x = None result = (x is None and "" or str(x)) print result, type(result)
--------------- OUTPUT --------------- None <type 'str'> y = 5 result = (y is 5 and "it's five" or "it's not five") print result ------------- OUTPUT ------------- it's five ...what's wrong with the first operation I did with x? I was expecting "result" to be an empty string, not the str value of None. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
