> What was the reasoning for not supporting trinary operators in py?

Although this is technically on-topic for python-dev, it's such a FAQ that you should take this question to comp.lang.python; we don't have time for it on this list.

FAQ entry 4.16 is on how to spell ?: in Python. Maybe it can be extended with an explanation of why it isn't available?
