[Python-Dev] "? operator in python"

[Guido van Rossum]

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
