  • Ticket #2377 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 In Python 2.5, the nearest equivalent to C's `cond ? one : tother` was the idiom `cond and one or tother`.
    2 In Python 2.6, a more precise equivalent is `one if cond else tother`.
     1In Python pre-2.5, the nearest equivalent to C's `cond ? one : tother` was the idiom `cond and one or tother`.
     2In Python 2.5+, a more precise equivalent is `one if cond else tother`.
