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

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

I recommend against this; if your conditions become this complex, stick it in a function.
