Could you talk more about “BTW: perl is much better than python on this.”?

  I haven't touched Perl in more than 20 years... ... but I (routinely) miss something like: $variable = something() if sanity_check() And do_something() unless $dont_do_that

    There exists a ternary if statement? foo = something() if sanity_check else None Can replace None with foo (or any other expression), if desired.

    Both work in python: variable = something() if sanity_check() else None do_something() if not dont_do_that else None

    Additionally to the provided answers: if sanity_check(): variable = something() variable = sanity_check() and something (but the standard python two line way is more readable unless it's a throwaway single use code, then whatever)
