Dear Lucky, You are correct. Python 2.5 will have a conditional operator. The syntax will be different than C; it will look like this: (EXPR1 if TEST else EXPR2) (which is the equivalent of TEST?EXPR1:EXPR2 in C). For more information, see PEP 308 (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0308.html). Python 2.5 will be released some time next year; we hope to have alphas available in the 2nd quarter. Thatr's about as firm as we can currently be about the release date. Enjoy, --Guido van Rossum On 10/25/05, Lucky Wankhede <lucky1010_studies@yahoo.co.in> wrote:
