As a confirmed lambda fan and somebody who wants the trinary op badly enough that I implemented it once, I strongly concur. This wouldn't completely repair the weakness of lambdas, but it would be substantial help.

Should I dust off that patch and write a PEP?

I don't recall what syntax your patch implemented.

If you want to write or co-author the PEP for (x if C else y), be my guest! (You probably have more time than I do at this point.)
