To simulate construct of other language does Python have a ternary conditional operator

Question

If Python does not have a ternary conditional operator, is it possible to simulate one using other language constructs?

Answer 1

You can index into a tuple:

(falseValue, trueValue)[test]

test needs to return True or False.
It might be safer to always implement it as:

(falseValue, trueValue)[test == True]

or you can use the built-in bool() to assure a Boolean value:

(falseValue, trueValue)[bool(<expression>)]
