I still like

(if cond then expr else expr) better than any of these.

I guess I've lost track of all the proposals here; what's the current main proposal?

(if cond then expr else expr)

with mandatory parentheses?

not too bad -- but I doubt it will save me much time in real life... (probably a net loss: even if I could use this from time to time, it's not like I have to use much brain- power to spell it out in today's python...)
