Ternary Operator Now?

[Ben Wilson]

I read somewhere else that Python was getting a ternary operator (e.g.
x = (true/false) ? y : z). I read the PEP about it and that the PEP had
been approved this past Fall. Has this been released into the wild yet?

IIRC, the operator is like:

x = y if C : else z

PEP 308 "Conditiona l Expressions" has been accepted for Python 2.5, I'm
pretty sure implementation hasn't even started yet.

Currently scheduled for next (2.5) release, but not yet implemented.

There's no colon in the construct.

This still makes me barf. Has Python jumped the shark?

It looks marginally better if you write it as:

x = (y if C else z)
