Re: [Python-ideas] Null coalescing operator

Thanks Steven, this is great! so -- when all this started, I think one of the use cases was to clean up this really common idiom: self.an_arg = the_default if an_arg is None else an_arg so would that be: self.an_arg = the_default ?? an_arg That would be nice. Though the fact that I'm still not sure if that's correct makes me think this is not so intuitive! -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
