if a: x = b
else: x = c
do_something(x)

Quite clear, I would think. <.8 wink>

Python is generally thought to have caught on as a language because of
its simplicity.  The developers really do try to make sure there is
always one, and only one obvious way to do things.  Listcomps and
generators have detracted from this some, but I think the
expresiveness of them outweighs the syntactic complexity they add.  I
do not feel the same about the ternary function.
