How to condense if/else into one line in Python? [duplicate]

Answer 1

There is the conditional expression:

a if cond else b

but this is an expression, not a statement.

In if statements, the if (or elif or else) can be written on the same line as the body of the block if the block is just one like:

if something: somefunc()
else: otherfunc()

but this is discouraged as a matter of formatting-style.
