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

You could also do this:

msg= 'Hello ' + {name is None: 'there', name == 'Mr Anderson': 'Neo'}.get(True, name)

So either of name is None or name == 'Mr Anderson' is True, or none of them is True, then name will be used.
