Do you think so?  ;-)

The most "beautiful" thing with this syntax is this:

After typing

     foo = 'orange' if cond

or

     foo = 'orange' if cond else pass

we don't know if accessing foo will raise a NameError or
not (not without checking cond that is). And we all know
what an uncaught exception might do (cf. Ariane 5).
