unless statement in Python

Question

Is there an equivalent to the unless statement in Python? I do not want to append a line to a label if it has p4port in it:

for lin         


        

Answer 1

There's no "unless" statement, but you can always write:

if not some_condition:
    # do something

There's also the not in operator as Artsiom mentioned - so for your code, you'd write:

if '@' in line and line == l:
    lineMatch = True
    line = line.strip('\n')
    line = line.split('@')[1]
    line = line + '
\n'
    if 'p4port' not in line:
        labels.append(line)

... but Artsiom's version is better, unless you plan to do something with your modified line variable later.
