By the way, alternative options would be: >>> append = True >>> append and 'a' or 'w' 'a' >>> append = False >>> append and 'a' or 'w' 'w' Of course, the >>> 'a' if append else 'w' is nicer, but has only been supported for python 2.5+. An alternative, third, method, would be >>> append = True >>> ['w', 'a'][append] 'a' >>> append = False >>> ['w', 'a'][append] 'w' No reason to change the working code, of course, but just possibilies to keep in mind.
