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

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

There's no colon in the construct.

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

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)
