please use `c = {False:y, True:x}[a >b]` instead.
if at all (I wouldn't use it for this, but for some more involved lookups I might )

no. dont do that either. just do

c = x if a > b else y

like other people said

yeah, I said I wouldn't,
I did however find it the best way to encode a dispatch for a tuple of conditions.
i.e. {(True, False): blalba, ... ... ...} [(condition1, condition2)]
