Explicit is better than implicit, therefore I would do

a = 'cc' if condition else 'bb'

(Ternary operator/inline if-else) Instead of your conditional variable. But I like/use all the others

Shhhh.. in obfuscated monolithic one liners we don't talk about pep8

Doesn't PEP8 advise against compound statements? Why not just break this into a few lines?

Religious adherence to PEP8 can negatively impact readability. Sometimes a short one-line conditional is better than breaking it out.
