Python has conditional expressions. The above would be:
f() if v else None
using "and" is bug-prone.

Both paradigms are in the bash shell. Using a test switch (like -x for
executiable) mixed with an && or ||.
Example:
[-x /usr/bin/firefox ] || exit
I think it's very clear, to old hands, but not so much for a new or
intermediate users.
It certainly is the 'cleaner' form. Like the C styl

for similar operations. Lately I've been thinking about a minor
detail that peaked my interest and am curious what others think:
Say that I have some function "f" that I will execute if some variable
"v" evaluates true. Using
