Put me in the camp of "yeah, occasionally I wish I had it, but I can always hack around it, and the C syntax just blows". I'm sure if it's wedgeable into CPython it would also be in JPython, but I dislike ?: syntax enough to vote strongly against it for CPython 1.6. A Forth-ish syntax might be more acceptable x = y > z if y else z but come on! You'll give ordinarily dandruff-free Python programmers plenty of other reasons to scratch their heads with this one. head-and-shoulders-above-the-rest-ly y'rs, -Barry
