With a significant gotcha that you should definitely understand before you use this. For example this will not work as expected: s = (a > b) and "" or "No" In [1]: s = True and "" or "No" In [2]: s Out[2]: 'No' because True and "" will always be False. http://www.effbot.org/pyfaq/is-there-an-equivalent-of-c-s-ternary-operator.htm Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
