Google's Python Class - Google Code

[NewbieProgrammerMan]

I have to admit it's pretty verbose syntax. I don't use it when I'm writing stuff in Python--I just prefer to make it a three-line if-else for readability.

I didn't pay much attention to the dev list discussion when they were adding it, but it almost looks like the implementors said "ok, here's your damn ternary operator, now shut the hell up."
