Python inline elif possible?

Question

\'Hello \' + (\'there\' if name is None else name)

Is the equivalent of

msg = \'Hello \'
if name is None:
    msg += \'there\'
else:
          


        

Answer 1

msg = 'Hello ' + (
    'there' if name is None else
    'Neo' if name == 'Mr Anderson' else
    name
)

This is a reiteration of several other answers, but with nicer formatting. I consider this most readable, and this is the approach I would use.
