I've been learning Python slowly for a few months, coming from a C/C+ +, C#, Java, PHP background. I ran across a code fragment I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around. I've searched the Language Reference and was not able to find any info regarding the structure of this code fragment:
int(text) if text.isdigit() else text It is part of a larger lambda statement. I do get the lambda declaration, but having trouble with what is happening in that fragment. Here is the full lambda statement: convert = lambda text: int(text) if text.isdigit() else text Thanks for any help you can provide explaining this to me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
