Python equivalent to a C trick

There's something close:

Logic_Test and True_Result or False_Result

print 'you have %i egg%s' % (num_eggs, (num_eggs != 1) and 's' or '')

The main problem with this is that False_Result will get executed if 
Logic_Test is false *or* True_Result evaluates to false. Witness the 
following broken variation of the above:

print 'you have %i egg%s' % (num_eggs, (num_eggs == 1) and '' or 's')

So it's not perfect, but it is workable. And as a previous post 
indicated, this situation is not likely to change. :)
