Hello, I'm coming from PHP background ant totally new to Python, I just started using scrapy, but has some generic question in python.
1. How can I write the following code in easier way in Python ? if len(item['description']) > 0: item['description'] = item['description'][0] else: item['description'] = '' In PHP I can write it as follows : $item['description'] = (len(item['description']) > 0) ? item['description'][0] : ''; So, is there similar way in Python ? 2. How can I check if this variable defined or not, in PHP I can use isset();, in other way, how can I make the following syntax in Python ? $variable = isset($array['element']) ? true : false; Thanks a lot, Mahmoud
